Does Mac suffer the same bugs as windows in this case?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Yes. Thankfully in my experience I’ve only dealt with this once or twice. But it’s a pita every time.

I’ve tried switching macOS to a case sensitive file system, but not all programs can handle it (at the time it was Photoshop).

I never understood this. I’ve been using macOS for a long, long time but in Terminal with either bash or zsh it’s always been as picky as Linux/other UNIX systems with casing.

Even in Finder if you navigate to a directory by path you have to use the proper case.

Am I missing something? I haven’t manually chosen a case-sensitive filesystem, but I sure would if it didn’t already seem case-sensitive.
