[7.02a] No capitals in dirname

[Sam_Zen]

I'm not able to name a new directory containing uppercase characters any more, if the previous character is a number.
I use hexadecimal counting indications frequently, but "0A" becomes "0a".
(While I still had to spell the correct capital in the dirname as part of a html-link to get through.)
More tests : If all others characters in the name are numbers, this happens. As soon as there is a alphabet character too, the capital is shown correctly.

Hello Sam !

• That works only if you untick the box :
Options >> Configuration >> Display >> [ ] Show old 8.3 file-names lowercase…

- I tested even 1.A, it displays 1.a… Same with 1A_A it displays 1a_a, while A1, B3 and the like work
(I've a lot of such dirs as working folders in each drive).
- The setting above acts both for files and folders, that's not new, and many times annoying…

Thanks, Clo. Unticking that box solved the problem in representation.
But to me this result doesn't give much information about the mechanisms involved.
What's the relation between a file-name read format and the title of a directory ?

Hi Sam !

• If I understood correctly, finally a directory on the HD is no more than a special type of file which contains others…
- So, I assume that the naming process (then, the options of display) are the same in the two cases.
- Indeed, it's desorienting sometimes, and perhaps some workarounds exist to get a more logical display,
i.e. in the case you show…
- The Win style displays the first character as a cap (option ticked),
so with your OA it considers that the digit "0" is the initial cap, that's all…
