[9.50b8] USB device drive button uses lowercase with uppercase drive letters

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

[9.50b8] USB device drive button uses lowercase with uppercase drive letters

Post by *MVV »

I think that drive buttons for USB devices should respect DrivesShowUpcase option, currently it looks a bit strange: C, D, E, I, U, W, \, u1...
Or maybe name such buttons \1, \2, \3 instead of u1, u2, u3? That should be shorter and without any letters, and will be related to \...

Hmm, I prefer it the way it is now. What do other users think?

Well, I personally use lower case drive letters on the drive buttons, but I do think that the U1, U2... buttons should follow the setting for DrivesShowUpcase - even if it means that you would have to add another extra pixels to the width of the buttons to fit the wider capital U's.

Well, the option DrivesShowUpcase is for drive letters. The u in "u1", "u2" etc. is not a drive letter.

Correct, but they are shown on a drive button, so it is fair enough if the user expects the letter to follow the parameter setting for drive letters.

What does it stand for, actually? It's not "r" as in "removable", so I guess "u" as in "uSB"?

Is there a real need to specify that this button is for USB device? Why not just \1, \2, \3?

MVV,
Numbers are used for FTP connections.

Numbers, yes, but I suggest numbers with a leading backslash. :)
