macOS Catalina and Fujifilm Software

It appears that there are some issues with Fujifilm Software used with macOS
Catalina.

This bulletin was published today:
"We have checked the performance of our application software used with
“macOS 10.15 (Catalina)� which was newly released from Apple. As a
result, we have confirmed the symptoms described in the list below.

We will fix the symptoms by upgrading the application software. And we plan
to post the upgraded ones sequentially on our global website.�

There must be some fundamental changes to their OS. I received
multiple emails concerning various music software I own about this
(even though I use Windows).

The major complaint regarding macOS Catalina and audio software compatibility
has been regarding Audacity.

However, this guy seems to have a work-around fix.

The ones I saw over the last week or two were from plugins companies -
Waves, IK, etc. They warned not to update the OS until further notice.
I think they might have all found fixes by now. Apple might have
changed the way they handle audio.

Apple changed the way they handle everything. The bottom line for me is to
hold off updating my OS until the dust settles. I have more invested in photo
& graphics software than I do in macOS.

It never hurts to be careful, but considering all the warnings I got,
it looks like everyone was aware there might be serious problems, and
those with a problem were warning their customers not to update. If
you didn't get any warnings, you might be okay, but I wouldn't know if
there is any compelling reason right now to update.

none of the changes are a surprise. developers have had ample time to
update their software, with catalina betas being released starting last
june.

I got that impression from what I saw. It just seemed that some of the
companies were having trouble getting everything sorted out in time. I
saw the same thing over the years with some Windows changes.

some developers are lazy and some are not particularly savvy, but they
all like to blame everyone other than themselves.

I've been holding off for that and other reasons and reasons related to
work. For work I've already compiled a list of changes and workarounds,
but I want that thinned out as much as possible before upgrading.

As it is, the only Mac around here that might get upgraded soon is my SO's.
