Okay,

Today I’ve something a little sad to write about. I am, as so many people lately, a mac user. I love OS X and the software for it, yet I stumbled about something that pretty much dissapoints me.

Okay to get to the pint, in the latest versions OS X allows to use ‘HFS+ case sensitive’ which is a great thing and I assume a lot of the people from the unix world are pretty happy about it. It’s cool, after all OS X is a unix system right should be a nice feature (and about time that it came)

WRONG! Using the case sensitive HFS+ can pretty much wrack your entire system and render it useless. Here is what I found:

Case sensitive and Adobe

I just would like to say here, way thanks a lot Adobe. Hire some coders that can use the correct case in filenames when you sell software for thousand of dollar!

Just imagine you’re running some design firm and happen to have case sensitive HFS+. Yay reinstalling a dozens Macs! Again very very much thank you!

Okay, so much for the rant. It’s just pretty disappointing it makes OS X kind of look like a bad joke… it also makes me wonder how things will be on Leopards ZFS, will people have to stay with old rusty case insensitive HFS+ when they want to keep using their software?

Abut again, it’s not a fault of Apple in my eyes, they can’t change the fact that some people seem to be too busy counting money them fixing their software…
