If in the latest 6.55 version of Total Commander "Configuration - Display - Show old 8.3 filenames lowercase (like Explorer)" option is checked, then all the files are shown "first letter upper-case and all other lower-case" except for the "TOTALCMD.EXE.MANIFEST" file, which is show in upper-case anyway (i.e. all its letters are upper-case)
So what's then the difference between "TOTALCMD.EXE.MANIFEST" file and all the other Total Commander's files ??

Well, I'm glad this pops up. For a long time I was not happy with all the capitalized filenames in the TC-root.
Just for esthetic reasons. It disturbs my survey.
But so far I didn't use the MRT to correct that, which I normally would have done. Out of precaution not to disturb any TC-structure. Silly of course, but yet.
I never paid attention to the 8.3 option in the config. Because when I see "like explorer" I get a bit allergic.
I just activated that option and nearly all of the files indeed turned into lowercase, but beside the MANIFEST-file, there is also still : "KEYBOARD.txt". This name seems to be according to 8.3, but nevertheless..

Oh yeah, of course you're totally right; the "TOTALCMD.EXE.MANIFEST" file's extension has 8 characters. I really don't know why I haven't thought of that before asking, gulp --

All 8.3 filenames are.And it's written in ALL UPPERCASE.
Sam_Zen,
It isn't 8.3, as 8.3 is all uppercase.there is also still : "KEYBOARD.txt". This name seems to be according to 8.3, but nevertheless..
