| 58384 | 2002-06-29 11:54:00 | I have a problem in that the case of file names will often show as upper case when they should be lower case. This is a nuisence as they have to be lower case for Unix servers. 1] Does anyone know what could be causing this change of case? It seems to happen when they are copied from one folder to another. |

| 58385 | 2002-06-29 22:54:00 | Where are they showing... Windows Explorer, a specific program...? Which OS are you using? | Heather P (163) | ||
| 58386 | 2002-06-30 13:03:00 | The case changing occurs with XP, ME & 98se. I use Power Desk 4, Explorer, Paint Shop 7, ACDsee, Homesite 2.5, Front Page 2000, Namo 3. Only a few files will change case at a time. |

| 58387 | 2002-07-01 09:47:00 | Something is doing it. Mentioning 3 operating systems (on seperate machines or multi-booting?) and a number of different programs doesn't actually help to narrow the problem down. When you say case changing: - is the whole name eg file1.jpg to FILE1.JPG - is it just the extension changing eg file1.jpg to file1.JPG - is it the first letter of the name eg file1.jpg to File1.jpg - is it a specific type of file - such as .jpgs or files of any extension? If it's only images - possibly the image program is set to save things in a specific case If it's only htm files or htm and jpg files - check the settings on Homesite etc |

| 58388 | 2002-07-01 14:15:00 | The whole file name changes case, including the folder names. I suspect that the culprit is a 16bit word processor "Word Express" which has access to the effected folders. I have used this programme for years but it has only recently become a problem. maybe the addition of XP may have something to do with it. XP, ME & 98 are all on primary partitions hidden by "Boot Magic" & they all share the same data files. I can change the case easily by using FTP which forces them into lower case. All except the folder names. |

| 58389 | 2002-07-02 09:35:00 | Test it. Create a file, open it in Word Express and watch for the results. If this is causing it you've found the problem. | Heather P (163) | ||
| 58390 | 2002-07-03 11:53:00 | The changed case of file names & folders is now noticeable because of "Power desk4" which has a setting under the "View" menu "show true names" which shows the names as Unix would see it. The case is easily changed by listing them in "WS_FTP" which forces them into lower case. Then select them, click on "Rename" & then OK right through all the files. They will now be in true lower case. |
