iStat Pro will not work properly on HFS Case-Sensitive volumes. The developer did not use the proper cases in some of his paths. I even e-mailed him a modified version in which I fixed these paths a few weeks ago, and this version still does not work correctly with HFS-X.

I seriously gave him the code and detailed the fixes. It's a 5 minute job to fix it, and it's good programming practice to use proper case anyway. I don't know what the hold-up is, but he really needs to get on the ball with this. I'm sick of having to keep patching every version I download.

Don't like it? Don't use it.

Want to comment on the code? Write your own app.

After all, it shouldn't take you too long to plagiarize his and add yours to it.

What the hell is that supposed to mean? I sent the guy a fixed up version with a detailed explanation of the changes I made. Why write my own when something already out there requires only trivial fixes?
