The “official” stance is that it’s supported, but don’t update if there isn’t a good reason. There are still problems coming out of the woodwork on High Sierra and surprising me as we saw with the 9.4.1 update issue a couple of people suffered from. I can’t say what new problems will surface in the future, and the problem with apps locking up after the screen goes to sleep is still there even after all the updates to it. It works, but it’s messy and has given me so much pain that I can’t recommend it at this time. I don’t THINK you’ll have any serious issues if you’re running the most recent XTension versions, but like I said, things keep showing up that I have to work around yet again.

I started experimenting with this yesterday when I got your direct email. I can see that the scripts folder is still there on my system, but something is either not working or changed. I will spend some more time fiddling with it today and see if I can get it sorted out for you or find what has changed.

Well thats something good about it anyway ;)


Thanks,
