File Renames to Lowercase on Upload - benrusso - 2012-09-24 I'm testing out the upload/files part of GetSimple, and have run into a small problem: my files are automatically renamed to lowercase! Before I dig deep into the code, I'm wondering if someone has background information on why this happens and how, if advisable, to correct it to case-sensitive filenames. Thanks. EDIT I did another couple of searches after posting this, and found the following: http://get-simple.info/forum/topic/2928/preserve-case-for-uploaded-files/ Unless there's anything more to add about it, consider this solved. Thanks. File Renames to Lowercase on Upload - shovenose - 2012-09-24 Well, I believe that is done on purpose, because it's best practice to not use any capital letters on filenames on the web. File Renames to Lowercase on Upload - benrusso - 2012-09-24 In retrospect, I believe that's true as well. For the greater good, I guess, this lowercase alteration is probably best left alone. However, for some specific reasons where capitals are important in file names, at least the solution is a simple one-line fix (see the post mentioned before).
