Comment (by Carlton Gibson):
macOS APFS is case insensitive:
{{{
% mkdir App
% mkdir app
mkdir: app: File exists
% ls
App
% diskutil info /System/Volumes/Data | grep Personality
File System Personality: APFS
}}}
However...
> However on OSX systems the file shows up as
template/django/admin/app/inventory/change_form.html.
> This breaks the functionality since the template is no longer found in
the App/inventory directory.
On macOS I'd expect the template to be found regardless of the casing of
the `app` directory.
(A full runnable example showing otherwise please.)
This is a long-standing gotcha of macOS. Linux has case sensitive names so
don't use `App` unless you mean it there. It's best just to use lowercase,
and then you don't hit problems.
(Use `AppConfig.verbose_name` if you want that for display purposes.)
> ...forcing lowercase would be highly backward incompatible
Exactly. This isn't something we can realistically change.
