CD Command Folder Casing

The behaviour described in the bug report is either by design, or would be far too complex/time-consuming to be changed

CD Command Folder Casing

Post by *tridy »

It is not really a bug but maybe not the right behavior.

example:
there is a folder c:\temp\MY_FOLDER

navigate to c:\temp2

in the command textbox at the bottom type:

cd my_FoLdEr, TC properly navigates to the folder but it displays it as c:\temp2\my_FoLdEr and not c:\temp2\MY_FOLDER

what I believe the right behavior should be is that it should navigate to the folder but display the name as it really is, MY_FOLDER. Well, at least that is the behavior in cmd.

Support. Not high priority, but displaying the name how it is on disk would be nice.
Who the hell is General Failure, and why is he reading my disk?

Agree. It looks strange as is now.
Using TC since 1997, known as Windows Commander in the old days ;)

Since Windows is case-insensitive, TC keeps the name exactly as it is entered by the user.
