Ok, Aaron and others,

When downloading a package from script central, I found out that the
case of the package that is downloaded is preserved.

When, However, downloading the same package with Jamal's Install
Packages script, the script name is changed to lower-case.

 

I did not know that these .wepm package names were case sensitive.

Further, it appears to make no difference to the end user of the
packages, but only to the script author who will later modify the
package.

Does this seem to be correct?

Because, as you might have guessed, things are case sensitive. A is not
a, and so on.

Then let me clarify:

The only thing that I changed was small letters to capitals.

Why should this make any difference?

You answered your own question. <grin> The name of your package is
stored internally in the package information, so if you rename it, the
package no longer matches.

As you know, when you download a script package, at least with Jamal's
script, the package name is all in small letters.

I often rename my script packages, starting each word with a capital so
that it sounds better.  

Is there a reason not to do this?

The reason I ask, when I went to update my TextToClip package, it would
not update the version number correctly.  Even though I entered 1.4 in
the script package, and I had 1.4 in the xml file, it kept showing 1.3.

I ended up deleting the package, and creating en entirely new package
and now all of the info is correct.

I just don't understand why I couldn't update a package which had been
renamed by me.

 

Any suggestions or explanations would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Jeff Weiss
