The Catalina upgrade promises to be the most complex for years, catering for loss of 32-bit support and its read-only file system. How are you planning to upgrade?
Catalina
A minor fix for compatibility with Catalina betas, where it now reports the correct size of the version database.
The new read-only system volume changes a lot of paths on which scripts and apps rely. Here’s some experience in fixing the problems that result.
Recommended for all users, as it fixes a bug which prevented the upload test from working. Essential too for anyone using Catalina beta with its changed paths and more.
With only sketchy documentation and no open source release, how complete are the tools to support APFS? Are they still “work in progress”?
In just a few weeks, many of us will be upgrading to Catalina. Here’s a breakdown of compatibility of my free tools with the new version of macOS.
What do we want? Time Machine backing up to APFS storage. When do we want it? Well, not quite yet.
New version should address long delays in checking old Finder Alias files.
It may be over 2 years old, but its supporting tools are more like those of a beta. Adding containers isn’t at all straightforward.
How can you check all your old Finder Aliases to see which are broken and, more importantly, which are in danger of breaking?
