[Resolved] Address Bar Network Case Sensitivity

[neil9090]

I believe this is a bug that has been fixed for local drives, but appears to be still around for networks tagged files.
e.g. if you type \\serverName\sharename\Folder
Into the address bar but the servername, sharename or even folders differ in case from when you tagged a file it doesn't match the tag database (case sensitive tagging).
If I enter the correct case of all parts of the path it works as it was originally tagged.
It looks like I can type any case for the UNC to resolve to be the correct directory but the tag lookup isn't saved/looked up with the correct case of the path provided in the address bar.

Could there be a new script function to adjust folder/filenames that are passed with the correct case.
i.e.
::echo tagitems("tag",,"g:\folder\file.txt")
is different from the actual Tag Stored
::echo tagitems("tag",,"G:\folder\file.txt")
perhaps a config option or parameter to tagitems to correct case prior to tagging/un-tagging.

I have found a .net correction function that probably doesn't help VB6.

This works except for the local drive letter, which is easily fixed.
For network server names/paths, I guess the Address Bar UNC needs to be case corrected after pressing return?

Set this tweak:

Code: Select all

NetworkCapsCheck=1

Then run the check:
Configuration | Tags | Options | Database Check...

This should fix it.
