[GNC] previous issue with gnucash-cli on macOS

[Peter West]

I’m curious. Aren’t Mac file systems still defaulting to case-preserving? (I have set mine up to be case-sensitive.) Shouldn’t a case-preserving file system find ‘macOS’ and ‘MacOS’ no matter what the case?

You’ll just have to learn to spell the directory name correctly, with a capital M. It might help to get in the habit of using shell completion to complete the path: Type “/A<tab>Gnu<tab><tab>M<tab>gnu<tab>”. “<tab>” means press the tab key. If you try to use a lower case m nothing will happen, reminding you to use M instead.
