    "ExtraSearchDirs/Dir003" = "/Applications/ldraw/Unofficial";

Two things:

First of all, there appears to be a bug in LDView, in that it doesn't properly load the errors and warnings dialog after initially loading the file without the extra directories configured, and then having it automatically reload once they are configured. I will investigate this; I suspect that it is a Mac-only bug.

The second problem is that LDView's extra search directories aren't extra LDraw directories, so LDView will not search any sub-directories. I looked at the CustomParts.zip that you sent me, and it appears that you are treating it as if it were an LDraw directory. In order to find these parts in LDView, you need to add the following as extra search directories:

/Users/nwperry/.local/share/Stud.io/CustomParts/parts
/Users/nwperry/.local/share/Stud.io/CustomParts/Unofficial/parts
