little bug when you replace a file with differents cases..

[Michael REMY]

hi,

i saw it since a long time now but this little bug is poking me each time.


when you replace a file named "abcDef.xxx" by another one named "Abcdef.xxx" then TC will forget to replace the old case pattern by the new one whereas it does well replace the file.
So the new file still have the old name case pattern which it us a bug in my own opinion.

i use tc 8.52 x64 under win7x64 PRO french release.

have a good day !

TC keeps original name in such cases, you can search for old topics regarding same subject.

what is the use to keep the old name case pattern ?
as you offer the choice to keep the permissions, shall also offer the choice to keep the case ?

E.g. I have nicely named Readme.txt file (or any other one) and I overwrite it with newer ugly named one, and it is great that TC keeps original case. So current behaviour is quite useful, and I miss it in some cases (e.g. in case of extracting from some archive types).

Isn't that the same behavior with WinEx?

Me think that is just the WindowsTM API
which doesn't update the file name property
of file record in the MFT,
if the name of the file has not changed.
Only size and timestamps are modified.

Stefan2,
Wow, I didn't even think that Explorer behaves in the same way!
BTW Explorer keeps name case only when you copy file, not when you move it (perhaps because fastest move is delete and then move file entry). TC does it more consistently, just like it does with copying/moving without modifiers (Explorer moves within same volume and copies to another volume by default, but it doesn't analyze symlinks and junctions and distinguishes volumes by drive letter only even if links point to another volumes).
