Tags and letter case in network share name
Posted: 04 Jun 2014 23:17
I had some tagged files in a local hard disk and made a backup to a network share. XYplorer is set to copy tags on backup operations.
After copy, browsing the network share I could not see the tags.
Here's what's happened: the files were backupped to a folder with a name like
that is, if I go to that folder by means of browsing, the address bar shows this name
However when I set the backup, the backup destination was manually typed as
If I looked at tag.dat I could see an entry for
Database check shows no orphans
I believe the path needs some "case" adjustment before XYplorer writes it to the database.
After copy, browsing the network share I could not see the tags.
Here's what's happened: the files were backupped to a folder with a name like
\\Server\E\Video\
that is, if I go to that folder by means of browsing, the address bar shows this name
However when I set the backup, the backup destination was manually typed as
\\server\e\Video\, given file names are case insensitive the backup went ok.
If I looked at tag.dat I could see an entry for
\\server\e\Video\name.ext(created with the backup operation), but case sensitivity in tag.dat means this tag won't be shown. In fact, if I tried to retag after the backup I have a second entry along the first one with the "right"
\\Server\E\Video\name.ext
Database check shows no orphans
