If you install KiCad on a case sensitive file system under OS X, you will get the following error:

"You can't open application kicad because it may be damaged or incomplete."

The fix is trivial.  You simply need to edit the "Info.plist" file and change the CFBundleExecutable and CFBundleName from "KiCad" to "kicad":

  <key>CFBundleExecutable</key>
  <string>KiCad</string>

and change to:

  <key>CFBundleExecutable</key>
  <string>kicad</string>


as well as:
  <key>CFBundleName</key>
  <string>KiCad</string>

to:
  <key>CFBundleName</key>
  <string>kicad</string>


Of course the same changes would need to be made to the other applications as well.
