Ok, should I expect it now finally to be case sensitive? Or is that still science fiction for MacOS?
- lee 9y agoCase sensitivity does already exist, it's just turned off by default.
- kiliankoe 9y agoApfs ist case-insensitive by default, probably due to legacy reasons.
- raindev 9y agoI've tried to use macOS with case sensitive filesystem for some time (before APFS). Works mostly fine but there're applications that break (Steam and Intellij IDEA are the two I remember).
- kiliankoe 9y agoAdobe apps are another known candidate for breakage on case-sensitive filesystems.
- AdamGibbins 9y agoI've no problems with IntelliJ in recent versions. Steam remains broken, I have to run that from a separate volume.
- tresp 9y agothere was a tremendous ATP episode about this exactly, maybe 6-9 months back. John's explanation of case sensitivity and file systems is a real gem, if anyone can remember the title
- TheSoftwareGuy 9y agoI think not. suddenly changing something like that could break a lot of applications
