It's doubly confusing. When you have foo.txt and FOO.txt, it's not just that the one is missing. It's also confusing because one day only foo.txt will show up in the file list, and a few days later only FOO.txt will show up. It seems to be quite random.
FYI, I wrote a utility that writes out a weekly report of new files added on our 16TB (and growing) share. With such a large share, it's impossible just to browse around to find new files. With this case sensitivity issue I keep picking up "new files", e.g. FOO.txt because in the previous week only foo.txt was in the file list. -- case-sensitivity in Unix systems https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/311818 You received this bug notification because you are a member of LinuxDC++ Team, which is subscribed to LinuxDC++. Status in DC++: In Progress Status in Linux DC++: Confirmed Bug description: Unix systems have case-sensitive file-systems. The core however converts all file and directory-names to lower case. Which gives problems if files are shared with the same text and different cases. example: In the share there's a file fubar.txt and a file Fubar.txt. Then these two files will be hashed every time dc is started. I don't know why all filenames are converted to lower case for Windows, but for other OS's it's not wanted. So I've added a possible fix which checks for OS. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~linuxdcpp-team Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~linuxdcpp-team More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
