Description Yves-Alexis Perez editbugs 2008-09-22 15:59:36 CEST
A Debian user reported that when adding a directory in Xfmedia, it will only add the files ending with a lowercase extension. So adding a directory full of .OGG files will end with an empty playlist.

It'd be nice if the add was case-insensitive.

Cheers,

That's actually a larger change than one might think, and will slow down large directory adds.  As I'm sure you know, I don't really work on xfmedia right now, so I'd suggest the user just bite the bullet and rename his/her files.  All-caps extensions are a relic of the DOS era anyway ^_~.

Yeah, I was kind of expecting this kind of reply, and I aggree :) But for the record, a bug report was worth it.

 so I'd suggest the user just bite the bullet and rename his/her files.

Yeah, agreed. Case insensitive stuff would be nice, but low priority :)

Case insensitive add for folders

This makes the “add” action works case-insensitively. Thanks for François Wendling who cooked the patch.
