![]() ![]() I did not complie my own source code, but used the one that is pre-compiled from the link on the Stellarium site. This is the first place I usually look when I want to access files for a particular program, but Stellarium put everything I would normally expect to be in App Support, in the Preferences file or in the invisible Resources file. It is curious to me that I have no file structure for Stellarium in Application Support, while you do. If you have star catalogs that aren't all collected within a folder called Default, inside the Stars folder, try correcting that and see what happens. I went back in and checked and noticed one was within Stars and not within Stars/Default. This did cause my Stellarium to crash twice on startup. I had mistakenly put a star catalog outside the "default" folder that is in that Stars folder when moving my star catalogs. I did miss something in my original post here. The only thing I did was move the actual star catalogs themselves, since the ones from the Resources file were being seen by Stellarium when the program was running, while the ones in the Library were not. I didn't want to do anything that might upset that. My reasoning for leaving the original file structure where it was, plus the stars.ini file, is that because Stellarium put the downloaded stars files there to begin with, it needs that folder and is looking for it. They are still sitting in Library/ Preferences/ Stellarium where they originated. I did not delete the old Stars file, nor did I move the stars.ini file. I could not see these new downloaded star files until I moved them from the Library where they orginally downloaded, to the Package Contents/Resources/Stars file. I figured out which were the newly downloaded folders by looking at the numbering sequence on the filenames. Once the Contents window comes up, if you look in the Resources folder in that window, you will see a file structure similar to that in the Library/Preferences/Stellarium folder, i.e., a series of folders named stars, nebulae, landscapes, etc. These are normally hidden files which you can see by right-clicking and choosing "Show Package Contents" from the right-click dropdown menu. Now, back to the other place that star files are being stored on my machine: This is with the application itself in the application package. I do have some Stellarium-related folders in Library/Cachesstellarium which do not seem to be related to the star files at all (plus the naming and location of this file is a bug - its a misdirected file which actually should appear as a subfolder in the Caches folder as "Stellarium", as already listed on the bugfix site). I have NO Stellarium-related folders in Application Support at all. One is User/Library/Preferences/Stellarium. ![]() You might try taking any Stellarium related files out of Application Support first of all, and moving your star files to the package contents folders and see if that works.Īfter looking around, I found there are two places that Stellarium is storing these types of files on my machine. This is kind of odd, because I have downloaded new landscape files which also appear in the Library, and all the landscape files I have, both those in the Package Contents and those in the Library, show up just fine when I run Stellarium. I could not see these new downloaded star files until I moved them from the Library where they orginally downloaded, to the Package Contents/ Resources/ Stars file. Once the Contents window comes up, if you look in the Resources folder in that window, you will see a file structure similar to that in the Library/ Preferences/ Stellarium folder, i.e., a series of folders named stars, nebulae, landscapes, etc. ![]() I do have some Stellarium-related folders in Library/ Cachesstellariu m which do not seem to be related to the star files at all (plus the naming and location of this file is a bug - its a misdirected file which actually should appear as a subfolder in the Caches folder as "Stellarium", as already listed on the bugfix site). One is User/Library/ Preferences/ Stellarium. I have had no crashing problems, but I did notice that recently downloaded star files were not showing up in Stellarium.Īfter looking around, I found there are two places that Stellarium is storing these types of files on my machine. I am running Stellarium on a early 2009 MacBook Pro unibody under Snow Leopard. ![]()
