when you try to rename a project and there's just a case change like MXD.cz to mxd.cz, the editor pops up in error:
Project with the specified name already exists. Please enter different name.
I assume that a case insensitive test is incorrectly applied...

Re: renaming a project
Currently project names are case-sensitive. Whether it is good or bad, not sure. In many systems file names are case sensitive, domain names are not, however.
Does this bother anybody, should we invest in updating this? Comments are appreciated.

Re: renaming a project
If they were, than the renaming from MXD.cz to mxd.cz should not end with an error message. So now they are case-insensitive!Karlis wrote:Currently project names are case-sensitive.
Imho, they should be case-sensitive ... just for the purpose of renaming, because two projects with nearly the same project name (e.g. Project or project) are hopefully quite rare.

Re: renaming a project
IMHO abc.jpg is the same within the Operating System as ABC.jpg and this is the way it should remain; I can see things getting very messy if this was not the case.
For the adventurous It is easy enough to rename any project by opening the projects.ini file in the Blumentals application data folder and changing the name there, though editing this file is at your own risk and should be done with the editor closed.
My 2 cents

Re: renaming a project
My bad, I wanted to say that they are case insensitive. Anyways, I believe this is not too much of an issue.
