Fix for Nanosaur II GetGraphicsImporterForFile warning!

The issue with Nanosaur II not starting with a warning "GetGraphicsImporterForFile failed!" can be fixed in the following way:


Just move the game folder to a normal non-case sensitive HFS+ partition, the case sensitive version will cause this issue !


I have seen this question asked multiple times, but never with info providing a fix. I had to figure this one out on my own.


See previous question :

I'm having trouble getting Nanosaur II: Hatchling to run on my iMac G5. It worked fine under 10.3.9 & QT6 until I reformatted my hard drive, installed Tiger and reinstalled the game from the DVD that came with my computer. I'm running 10.4.2 with Quicktime 7.0.1 and whenever I try to launch the game it crashes after allowing me to choose the resolution and then displaying a couple of error dialog boxes:
"DrawPictureIntoGWorld: GetGraphicsImporterForFile failed! One of Quicktime's importer components is missing. You should reinstall OS X to fix this."
