Kstars 3.5.5 error on Mac with case-sensitive file system

I apologize if this is the wrong place to post this but...

I had a problem with Kstars 3.5.5 on my Macbook.  It would not start at all.  If I right-clicked the icon and selected "Open" it would pause a few seconds then the Apple Crash Report screen would appear.  I wouldn't even get the Kstars splash screen before that happened.  3.5.4 and earlier versions were working before this.

I use the case-sensitive file system option in MacOS and suspected that could be the issue as I've seen that sort of behavior a few times with other apps.  I found that the file...

    /Applications/KStars.app/Contents/Resources/qt.conf

... has a line: "Plugins = PlugIns".  The actual directory name is "Plugins", not "PlugIns".  After changing it to "Plugins = Plugins", the app starts up just fine.  So it might be useful to change that in future releases for the hand full of people like me that use a case-sensitive file system.
