Current macOS Finder let's you name files with a slash in them, rendered as a : in the terminal.
- microtonal 5mo agoI think that the slash might be the rendering though? If you $ touch "foo:bar" In the Terminal, then Finder renders it as foo/bar. So who is lying, how is it stored in the directory entry in APFS itself?
- kps 5mo agoAPFS stores it as "foo:bar". (I don't think the filesystem itself cares what's in a name.)
- VorpalWay 5mo agoIsn't that just what the original article that we all commented on described? I don't understand what you are trying to add to the conversation here.
