As the new version of Open Core was just released yesterday, I thought I would mention just once again that there is a great tool OpenCore Sanity Checker some of you might missed / not noticed. It can help you with checking your config for errors and it works with the two latest versions (0.5.7 and 0.5.8 as of now).
Since I have no idea how to contact the developer/s, I thought I can leave my note here. The tool is great, and all, but there is one tiny detail that makes it a bit complicated, and I suggest on slightly modifying it. When you get your results, there is a nested list, which is a bit difficult to read.
It looks like that, I removed some lines for this example, so it be shorter:
``` ACPI Add
SSDT-PNLF.aml Make sure this file is in your OC/ACPI directory Block Patch Quirks
FadtEnableReset = No Booter MmioWhitelist Quirks
AvoidRuntimeDefrag = Yes DevirtualiseMmio = No DeviceProperties Add ```
I see the headings have different sizes, but they are so similar that it's difficult to tell the difference. My suggestion is to move nested elements with tabs (or just some space), so it would look like this:
```
ACPI Add
SSDT-PNLF.aml Make sure this file is in your OC/ACPI directory Block Patch Quirks FadtEnableReset = No ```
This way it'll be much easier to read the list, and tell to which part every note is attached, without adding colours and other visual elements. It won't hurt if all the elements aren't attached to the left. I may add some screenshots later today, if I'm being unclear on that.
Since I have no idea how to contact the author of the tool, I thought I would write it here. If you would like me to participate in the visual part of it, I may suggest some more tiny improvements, trying to make it easier for newcomers, while still keeping it visually and functionally simple.
If you faced some difficulties with the tool either, please comment on them here as well, so the developer will get some feedback and the tool may become even better.
