Filenames are not changed

[miskox]

Hi all,

this is an old 'bug' if we can call it a bug.

We have two files:

\A\Aa.txt
\B\aa.txt

If I copy file \A\Aa.txt to \B\aa.txt file contents is replaced but the filename remains - all lower letters a instead of Aa.txt

Moving file is OK.

It is not a bug but feature!
E.g. I like that TC keeps source file's name very much.
Also TC preserves all other attributes, permissions, streams etc of source file.

MVV,

I like that TC keeps source file's name veru much.

But miskox' point is that it does not.

On a related note, in the overwrite dialog TC shows that:
Source file: Aa.txt
Target file: Aa.txt <- this is wrong, this is not the target file name.

I support miskox's approach.

Additionally, according to me, sync also should take care the lower and upper case characters in file names and directory names.

Very often I need to update some files in my folders by their newer versions and theese newer versions have wrong (for me) character case. So it is very useful that TC keeps original character case in filenames.

You may use Ctrl+C and Ctr+V to copy file with its exact name:)

I support miskox's approach too. I consider it a bug, but if it's a feature it must be possible to configure it in Wincmd.ini.

TC behaves like CMD and Explorer.
The difference of copy and move:
move deletes the same named target file and creates a new folder entry only.
copy creates a new file without deleting

I suppose this an operating system related behaviour.

Indeed the behaviour is by design. There are currently no plans to change it.

Christian, thanks for clearing the things.

I encounter this problem everytime I use Synchronize dirs. In such cases I first delete identical files on the right side and then copy new files from the left.
