[TC 11.00b9] "Show --> Extensions (Ctrl + F4)" respects "case-sensitive" in a "non-case-sensitive" directory

cpp64 · Post by *cpp64 » 2023-06-30, 13:20 UTC

[ Show --> Name ] : Ctrl + F3
p1.txt
s1.txt
S2.Txt

[ Show --> Extension ] : Ctrl + F4
S2.Txt
p1.txt
s1.txt
--> "S2.Txt" is above "p1.txt". However, the porper location is below "s1.txt".

Windows is not *nix.

Can I turn off "Case Sentitive" in "Show --> Extension" ?

Confirmed - probably due to this fix:

I also think that S2.Txt must be below s1.txt , at least should be configurable.

IMHO this new sort order may be even dangerous for users that are not aware of it. Best regards

I will change it so it only respects "Case Sensitive" when both the name and the extension are identical (ignoring case).

os : windows 11 22h2 x64
tc : 11.00b9 x64

The problem occurs with a normal NTFS directory.

I don't use WSL.
So I don't have a "case-sensitive directory" at all.

The problem also occurs with a FAT volume.
I tested it on a FAT-formatted VHD.

It seems that TC does not correctly recognize a "case-sensitive directory".

That's not the point here. The reason why it happens is that TC was comparing name and extension separately, not checking the other when the first was identical for 2 files.

Confirmed fixed in TC 11.00b10
