Notice: Suitcase and Mac OS X 10.5.6 Update

Extensis has received reports, indicating that Suitcase Fusion (v12.1.7) failed to run under Mac OS X 10.5.6, Apple’s most recent System Update.

The cause of this was found to be an issue with Bonjour (formerly “Rendezvous”) networking technology that is a part of Mac OS X. Changes to Bonjour networking in Mac OS X 10.5.6 resulted in a condition where Suitcase Fusion would fail to open.

To workaround the problem, users should shorten their computer’s Bonjour name. For information on how to do this, see the following knowledge base article: Article # 7902230

This issue had me pulling my hair out for about an hour today before I checked the Extensis website to look into paying to upgrade the new version in order to fix the problem. OK sure this probably won’t apply to ANY one else out there who reads hjays. Here it is anyway just in case it can save someone else the pain that it caused me.
