The dirtiest mistakes of OS X

+
+ +
+
+

I must have written about this elsewhere, but here are my top three:

+
    +

  1. .DS_Store. Finder litters faster than one could clean up.

    2. +

  2. HFS+ NFD*.1 Heard of the cursed encoding UTF8-MAC? Pure Evil. Culprit of tons of garbled text issues (especially cross platform ones) and probably most length miscalculation issues. Even Apple's Terminal.app can't do NFD right. I wonder how Korean users navigate their filesystems in terminal.

    3. +

  3. Plist XML. It's XML, but even worse.

    4. +
+
+
+
    +

  1. NFD with an asterisk, i.e., not even NFD. According to Apple in an old Technical Q&A,

    +
    +

    The terms used in this Q&A, precomposed and decomposed, roughly correspond to Unicode Normal Forms C and D, respectively. However, most volume formats do not follow the exact specification for these normal forms. For example, HFS Plus (Mac OS Extended) uses a variant of Normal Form D in which U+2000 through U+2FFF, U+F900 through U+FAFF, and U+2F800 through U+2FAFF are not decomposed (this avoids problems with round trip conversions from old Mac text encodings). It's likely that your volume format has similar oddities.

    +
    +

    They are conscious enough to call these oddities.↩︎
