I'd feel it better if you'd understand the concept
and keep it fixed in the future. F.e. if you look
for a file names "Hello.prg" on Linux, it's not
good to use 'LOWER( "Hello.prg" ) == fn' when looking
it up in a list of filenames, as there might also exist
a "hello.prg" which is a different file. So it's
better to use hb_FileMatch( "Hello.prg", fn ) instead.
The only place where you want to keep using LOWER(),
is when looking for file types:
LOWER( ExtOf( "Hello.PRG" ) ) == ".prg"
Here is your patch:
---
- cLPath := hbide_pathNormalized( cPath, .t. )
- IF left( cLPath, len( cLRoot ) ) == cLRoot
+ cLPath := hbide_pathNormalized( cPath, .f. )
+ IF left( lower( cLPath ), len( cLRoot ) ) == cLRoot
---
You've added a LOWER() call to a comparison, which
won't remove any code which converts filenames to
lowercase, and as I understand this was the problem
of original poster ("For example file name is Main.prg but
in project list is main.prg").
I hope that help, or others can jump in.
