Save as/ Rename with case sensitive file name

[matt.baker]

Project item should apply the name's case when renaming / save as over existing file.

In the example below the existing file "THis ShOUld ChAnGE.vi" should become "This should change.vi" when saving over the file.

Instead it leaves it with the previous case.

This has bothered me for a while.  I'm not sure if it's a LabVIEW thing or a Windows thing though.

This is a Windows behavior. Try copying a file in Windows Explorer into a directory where the file already exists but with different capitalization. You get the existing capitalization. Save a file from Notepad with the same name as an existing file but with different capitalization... it keeps the caps of the existing file.

It's probably something that LV could compensate for, but I'd rather the OS change this so that LV's behavior matches other applications.

Doh!

You're both correct. For some reason I had it in my head that save as from other applications worked, but when I tried it and read some more about it I found that's not the case.

I agree, this is a Windows problem feature and doesn't warrant the effort for a LV change. Sorry.

LabVIEW behavior is consistent with OS behavior. See discussion thread for more details.
