[OS X TeX] Style file placement

[Dr Alan Litchfield]

I had the same issue.

I just left it in the document folder to make my life easier and because I did not expect the mdpi class file to remain static each time I submitted a paper to their respective journals. As it turned out, that was a good call because it has changed. The other thing is that their version of the class (that they use for publishing) seems to be different to the author class file. I had the same issue with the acm class too…

Good luck
Alan
