case sensitivity for network server name in cache

Post by darkfader »

I have a seperate cache for \\akusho\blahblah and \\AKUSHO\blahblah but they both link to the same server and directory. Could the server address be made case-insensitive?
I think it automatically converts to uppercase when I type the URI into the addressbar in the image browser but not when it starts caching files without using the browser.

You mean case-sensitive not case-insensitive?

Are you using windows? AFAIK all windows path's are case-insensitive including network paths. Try typing \\akusho\blahblah and then \\AKUSHO\blahblah in run dialog. How did you even get two computers with same name to work in the same network?

The cache directorynames are case-sensitive. And somehow it did not convert the servername to uppercase, thereby creating a new cache entry.
But now I see that it does convert it to uppercase each time AND that it shows up the correct directory in the directory tree control.
So these were two related problems I had but now it does work somehow. Perhaps I should try a reboot and see if those problems come back again.
