Okay. Where can I read about it?
See $MakeUploadNamePatterns.
may arise if you migrate your files from one hosting provider to
another
-- links may fail to resolve on the new location.
Then I would probably run some sed or awk script against to PmWiki
pages. ;-)
Agreed, if you don't require support, you can change to an unsupported
set of renaming rules. ;-)
I suspect you and I can do this -- and have done this. But most people
who install PmWiki cannot -- they neither use or know how to use
UNIX-type operating systems and `rename` (the Larry Wall version), nor
their hosting plan has SSH access. And if their local file system is
case-insensitive, they cannot even rename the files manually.
The decision made by Pm a long time ago was a pragmatic one, and at the
time appeared suitable for the majority of the wiki administrators. I
believe it still is, even more so today.
BTW I have been burned by a case-insensitive file system on clients'
websites, and in one case with thousands of uploaded files -- and since
then I force the renaming of the whole filenames to
ascii-lowercase-without-spaces, not only the extension part. (This also
tends to work better with recipes from the Uploads category in the
cookbook.)
