i wasnt sure what case sensitive file system meant so i enquired. their reply:Whoa that's totally lame, since HFS/APFS on Mac, NTFS on Windows and EXT3/EXT4 on Linux are all case-sensitive file systems.
The file system that was not case sensitive was FAT16 and boy was that a pain to use.
What sort of a silly app cares how you've named a file, they should care more about WHAT the content is.
so what does that really mean as far as purchasing and installing on mac?
