Summary of Changes for Version 1.0.79 (August 28, 2024) (Download build 1.0.79)

• Added: Checks that you aren't downloading or installing to a case sensitive volume. Band-in-a-Box does not support case sensitive file systems.

Note that Mac OS is not case sensitive by default, but Disk Utility does give users the option when formatting.
• Fixed: ".timemachine" backup volumes should not appear in Select Destination dropdown.
• Fixed: Sometimes mistakenly concluded that there is not enough disk space to download files.
