Case sensitive filesystem in macOS causes problems for several large applications. Most famously, No Adobe software will run on a case sensitive drive, nor will it even install. I believe the same is true for Microsoft Office, but I am not sure. Since most Mac users use at least some Adobe tools, case sensitive is a non-starter. > In any case, best solution to your dilemma is to not use case-insensitive > filesystem.

You just need to pay attention if you are going to be moving to a case sensitive file system. Another option is to set apache (or whatever) to ignore case. -- He remembered the knowledge.

He remembered being summoned into reluctant existence at the moment the first creature lived, in the certain knowledge that he would outlive life until the last being in the universe passed to its reward, when it would be his job, figuratively speaking, to put the chairs on the tables and turn all the lights off. He remembered the loneliness. -- This is the BBEdit Talk public discussion group.
