I'm trying to import .ldr files into Brickstock. That mostly works but for some reason it's refusing olive green parts. When I import the .ldr file I get a popup saying "This file contains x unknown items". I then have to manually select the correct colour for each olive green part.

As far as I know the Brickstock catalog is up to date. Is there a config file or something else I can fix to make it recognise olive green?

LDraw uses BrickLink colour names now (2016.01) (just replace spaces with underscore).  The codes (numbers) are still different though.

I don’t use BrickStock but I’d guess everything is in the database and ID-matching is outdated.

Maybe not a real solution to your problem but more of a workaround but I figured I post it here anyway: nowadays I don't really use Brickstock anymore (to import LDraw models). I use Rebrickable. When I want to covert an LDraw model to a parts list I create a new (private) custom list on Rebrickable and import the model there. Rebrickable has a very extensive mapping between LDraw -> Rebrickable/Bricklink numbers and works (in my experience) a lot easier. Just make sure to save the import errors/warnings to be able to fix those after import because they aren't saved anymore like in the previous version of Rebrickable.
