MacOS High Sierra
Lodewijk_Ramon:
Just a question before upgrading my Mac to High Sierra: Is MC running without problems a Mac with High Sierra and the new APFS file system?
Awesome Donkey:
It works fine here. But then again I keep my music on a different drive that's NTFS.
But I can't think of a reason why it wouldn't work though.

Blasphemy!
Seriously, why would you do this to yourself? Unless you share this drive with a Windows machine frequently or something? Even so, isn't FAT32 a better choice since you can actually write to it on a Mac without using a questionable 3rd party shim?
To the OP: I'd be quietly cautious about APFS. It has great promise and was designed by a "big deal" guy in file systems. But I don't think it's been tested much yet. I personally will probably skip 10.13 and wait for 10.14. Probably.
Sierra, 10.12, works great on my machines with MC.

Awesome Donkey:
It's shared between 4 OSes so I chose NTFS (and Windows is the main managing OS).
Fortunately FUSE for Mac is a thing and works perfectly for read/write to NTFS. :P
APFS seems to be working just fine thus far, even with my good ol' Hackintosh + Clover bootloader. The *only* downside is the Linux installs can't access the APFS filesystem partition just in case anything goes wrong, though I suspect an open source driver will eventually be created for this purpose.
Magic_Randy:
It appears to work just fine. I've not done a lot of testing but MC 23.0.52 opens and appears to behave correctly. I can play music, and yes it is local on the PC with the new APFS file system.
BTW: I have multiple Macs. I only upgraded one of them. The rest will wait until I have confidence that this new file system will hold together.
