The -verify-oxp option will catch most problems of this type.

Sorry Ahruman not this one !!! Maybe becouse policeInterceptorAI.plist does not exists inside the oxp folder or becouse windows is not Caps sensitive

I like. a lot.

Ahh, well spotted – it doesn’t check case for built-in files (which it should).

Nuts! It's a real shop! (was going to do a variant on the e-shop concept!)

Never mind. I've just found out that there's a real beer called "Tall Toad". And here I was thinking I was just nicking the idea from the Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers ...

A suggestion - don't put case-checking in, take case-sensitivity out? Or will that break the Mac build? Or is it quite tough to do in OO code?

It would require a complete rewrite of the way files are searched for… which I’d quite like to do for other reasons, but I’m not doing new features now. :-)

(Case sensitivity is mostly an issue for Linux users, but it’s possible to use case-sensitive file systems in OS X too.)

How would you make oolite not case-sensitive on UFS file system for example? That would be one big overkill.
Not even mentioning case-preserving.

Easy: walk the file hierarchy and keep an internal list of files in canonicalized case. Oolite already keeps a cache of directory name + file name -> full path mappings, so we’re halfway there. As I mysteriously alluded to above, there’s another reason to want to go the full monty in future. :-)

I would be very happy if that happened as the &/&$%& case sensitivity issues with linux systems would become a thing of the past!

Any chance to get more out of you about that?

That's not how Ahruman works...

A genuine Oolite one rather than a parody - somebody take a photograph!



So that should be this thread back on track...

Just wondering if this is the correct place to post this but...
my ideas!
1.Trumble milk
2.Soy Trumble milk
(Now in Low Fat!)

dunno if these are taken but someone can make this up for me....
