After several less than helpful Google searches I've decided to ask my question here where we have a handful of OSX/*nix gurus.
One of the most frustrating things about OSX is the fact that when I drag and drop folder into directory where one of the same name already exists, instead of merging the folder contents like Windows does, it simply replaces the folder outright. This makes upgrading my LDraw installation frustrating unless I simply trash the old ldraw folder and download complete.exe. Is there a way to force OSX to merge folder contents instead of replacing? Barring that is there a command line way of doing this?
Note: I don't want to download and use a separate program to do this as I consider that just as time consuming. I'd rather have a in GUI solution or a command line option that I can write an script to leverage.
