Thanks Carl,

Im not encouraged to continue testing after the obvious disregard for
bug reports by the managers of this project. The "Working fine,
nothing to see, move along..." attitude is puzzling.

That s the trouble with Mac users, they feel that with its
single-digit market share the 90%+ of the world users must know about
the intrincacies and absurdities of Apple file formats, and that if
you request a nicer, more human-readable error message well, you need
to "learn something".

I'm done with this list...
