Can't import images on Mac

[NewgamePlusLD]

I get this error whenever I try to import something.

WARNING bpy.ops.import_mesh.bmd.shp1 shp1, dumpBatch(): unknown attrib %d in batch, it might not display correctly (x2) (x1) ERROR bpy.ops.import_mesh.bmd.main Could not extract images.

yeah, that's kinda what I expected.

The thing is, BleMD relies on a small complied C++ program to extract the images (because otherwise it would take way too long.) So far, I only managed to compile that program for windows and linux ('buntu 18.04, IIRC).

If you know how to, you can compile that program yourself, and name the executable "bmdview.mac" or something. It's a single file (image importing subprocess/bmdview.cpp). Afterwards, you might want to change a few lines in common.py:

if sys.platform[:3].lower()=='win':
    SEP = '\\'
elif sys.platform=='linux':
    SEP = '/'
+elif sys.platform=='darwin':
+    SEP='/'
else:
    log.error('Your platform (%s) is not supported. images will not be imported')
    SEP = '/'  # a decent default
[...]

def SubProcCall(exefile, args, startpath=os.getcwd()):
    # this is the function to edit to adapt the program for non-windows platforms
    # just add an 'elif' to the  if/else block below, in which `exefile` is adapted
    # (from 'path/to/bmdview' to 'path/to/bmdview.exe' in this example)

    if sys.platform[:3].lower() == "win":  # windows: use EXE
        exefile += '.exe'
    elif sys.platform == 'linux':
        exefile += '.lin'
+    elif sys.platform == 'darwin':
+        exefile += '.mac'

This is assuming sys.platform=='darwin' for mac.
