UFS is supported for boot volumes, too!
UFS is supported for boot volumes, too, so even if you stick to (as you call it) "supported" formats, you might still format your boot disk with a case-sensitive format. (Of course, HFS+ case-sensitive is also supported, it just doesn't show up in the Installer GUI.)
In other words: the only real solution to this problem is to bug each and every developer who is unable to capitalize correctly until they finally get this right. Programming languages are case-sensitive, anyway, so this is pure carelessness on the developer's part! So far, I have contacted more than 10 developers (big and small) and had them fix their code successfully. The more users do this, the faster all Mac OS X apps will run on case-sensitive file systems. BTW, this is no Carbon-specific problem. The most famous example of a Cocoa app that didn't work correctly on a case-sensitive file system might well be Keynote 1.x - by no less than Apple itself ... (Keynote 1.x could not read its own templates because of a capitalization inconsistency).
XCode should warn about capitalisation errors
It would be really great if XCode threw warnings whenever capitalisation errors are made. |
