Possible bug in renaming files - case insensitive

I tried to rename a file from "TestVoToNameValuePairs" to
"TestVOToNameValuePairs" and FB 2.2.1b gave me the following error:
Trying to use an unsupported feature
svn: Cannot move path
'V:\Flex2\Attune_04\tests\utils\TestVoToNameValuePairs.as' into
itself
Bug? Or am I missing something? Looks like the name check is
case-insensitive by accident.
S.

The "svn" in this error message indicates that Subversion is
doing the complaining. I believe that Subversion is
case-insensitive, at least on Windows. This FAQ might be helpful:

How to make the tags in XML file case insensitive

Hi,
I have a ReadXML class which reads an xml file. This class also has a method which receives a string-child from another class and uses this string-chile to match it with the child tag in the xml file, and returns the child tag's value.
Now, my problem is this, the child tag in xml may be in a case different from the case of the string-child received from another class.
How do I modify it, so the program does not return a null pointer exception because the strings did not match for want of uppercase or lowercase letters.
Thanks
Sangeetha

I'm not sure what you are getting at. Is a string child the contents of a node treated as text?
If you are trying to match a child node regardless of case I doubt this is possible as the XML standard says an XML document is case sensitive so if your parser ignored case it would not be XML complient.
Hope this helps.

Finder bug while renaming files

Has anyone seen the below behavior?
I've noticed that when I try to rename a file by hitting the ENTER key - the file name goes into "edit mode". Occasionally, it will randomly exit this "edit mode" before I'm finished leaving my file name change abruptly committed while I'm only partially done.
This behavior is easy to reproduce on my laptop but not in any reliable steps (meaning that if I rename 20 files in this manner, I expect to see this strange behavior about 50% of the time - but without any apparent rhyme or reason). In fact, if I enter "edit mode" like above (by hitting the ENTER key) and then don't type anything at all - about 1/2 the time the Finder will just exit the edit mode all by itself anyway.
It's annoying but honestly I'm more curious about why this would happen than anything else.

I have been having problem as well. At first I thought I must be accidentally brushing the touchpad, but there is definitely some other reason for it.
As sort of a workaround, you can edit file names by using Command-I to view find info and change it in the box that pops up. If you have to rename a bunch of files, use Command-Option-I which brings up a box that displays the relevant info for whichever file you happen to select.

Making ADF Search case insensitive without using Execute with Params??

I have a ADF search page baed on VO. I'm not Execute with Params form, instead i'm using normal ADF search page. Is it possible to make the search case insensitive?? if yes, how to do that?

Ok, i'll try to find out the SRDemo application using ADF BC.
And In Execute with params form,i'm already using UPPER on both the sides of where clause.
Say my VO query is like
select <table name>,...
from fnd_tables t,fnd_applications a
where a.application_id = t.application_id
and upper(t.table_name) like upper(:EntityName) || '%'
Then i created the ADF paramaters form by dragging and dropping the Execute with param from data control pallette.. when i run this page and do the search, it throws the error given in my second update...Any clue why that error is coming?
Thanks

Possible to do case-insensitive searches?

G'day,
I was wondering if it's possible to do case-insensitive searches in oracle/HTMLDB?
I've tried what I thought would work
"select * from application where name like '%microsoft%'", this unfortunately doesn't return any records with a capital in it(eg "Microsoft").
If there is no way to do case-insensitive searches what is the best way around it?
Thanks
-Colin

Colin,
Yes it is possible to do case insensitive searches using SQL. Try, for example:
select * from application where upper(name) like '%ORACLE%'
The trick is to upper() both sides of the like operator.

Case-Insensitive File Name Search on Unix

Hello,
I have a program which runs on a Unix OS and it looks for some files like file.csv, and then reads these files. Basically I know the file name and I look for that file name in a particular directory.
Now, I want to make my program case-insensitive so that if the file name is file.csv or File.csv or FILE.csv, it should still locate that file and read it.
Any advice....
Thanks.

Thanks.
Probably I have to get all the file names in that
directory and then try to match against the file name
(using ignore case or toUpperCase() maybe), which I
am looking for.
Is there a way, where I don't have to get all the
file names in that directory and can just go and get
the FileReader Object etc for the file which I am
looking for.No

Possible: renaming files - folder names as variables.

Here's a bit of background - I have a rather extensive MP3 collection (all legal - I work for an independent music magazine in my spare time) - it's approx 7,000 files big now.
I have them all stored in folders as follows:
c:\SAMag\MP3's\Albums (and here comes the tricky bit...)
EITHER
\Artist Name Here - Album Title\<.MP3 files here> (No artist names contain a '-' so this is the seperator)
OR
\Artists Name Here\Albums Title One\<.MP3 files here>
\Artists Name Here\Albums Title Two\<.MP3 files here>
\Artists Name Here\Albums Title Three\<.MP3 files here> (Where there are more than one albums to an artist)
Playing these files is a nightmare as they all have different naming conventions and odd ID tags. I want to remove all ID tags and rename them to have meaningful file names (so that WinAmp displays a decent, non-confusing, name).
I would like:
"<artist name> - <song title> (<album title> - <#>)"
So, basically - is it possible to rename files in Java. Specifically: using the folder names that they are contained in as variables to put in this name?
Thanks for any help people!

Thanks for that.
I'm pretty new to this whole Java thing (even though
I've been attempting to do it for a while!) so was
wondering if you could point me in the right
direction.
That is exactly what I did though.
Do you have the javadocs? If so then you look up java.io.File and read the methods in it.
Here is the online link....

Possible bug in reading .MPO files

If a .MPO file has more than two images, some images are not displayed at the proper size if the embedded files are not all the same dimensions.
Sony's new line of cameras (eg. DSC-WX9) have the capability of taking stereo pictures. They save them in .MPO format. It appears that they save a full resolution (4608X3456) left image, a 1440X1080 left image, a full resolution right image, and then a 1440X1080 Right image in the MPO.
If you open one of these MPO files, In the "edit source" mode CS6 displays the lower dimension images as a bunch of horizontal slices stacked on top of each other to the same vertical dimension of the larger image.

Is it possible to make web app from WAR case insensitive?

          We were running Web app on NT platform in exploded mode (Weblogic 6.0). Now we
          made a WAR file. And now we’ve figured out that web app became case sensitive
          in terms of jsp names and paths to those jsp. Is there any way to make it case
          insensitive?


Andre, go to our BEA WebSupport portal here
          http://support.bea.com/welcome.jsp and login (you'll need to register if you
          do not have a login), and use the AskBEA feature to ask "is web app url
          case-sensitive?" Look under the section "The Following have been found from
          our newsgroup:". There's several customer posting on url case
          sensitivity/insensitivity that will benefit you.

[SOLVED] Case-insensitive filesystem issue

Dear fellas,
I am trying to compile an AOSP rom using the following configuration:
- Arch Linux x64
- Latest Kernel 3.12.8-1-ARCH
- BTRFS filesystem
I got the following error:
build/core/main.mk:118: You are building on a case-insensitive filesystem.
build/core/main.mk:119: Please move your source tree to a case-sensitive filesystem.
build/core/main.mk:120: ************************************************************
build/core/main.mk:121: *** Case-insensitive filesystems not supported. Stop.
So far, I was compiling with no issue. It just starts a couple days ago. I suspect that maybe is due to some kernel change.
Anyone already face this issue?
Appreciate any clue.
========================SOLVED==========================
Here is the solution presented by korn36 that did the magic for the main issue:
Remove this from build/core/main.mk, then compile:
ifneq ($(HOST_OS),windows)
ifneq ($(HOST_OS)-$(HOST_ARCH),darwin-ppc)
# check for a case sensitive file system
ifneq (a,$(shell mkdir -p $(OUT_DIR) ; \
echo a > $(OUT_DIR)/casecheck.txt; \
echo B > $(OUT_DIR)/CaseCheck.txt; \
cat $(OUT_DIR)/casecheck.txt))
$(warning ************************************************************)
$(warning You are building on a case-insensitive filesystem.)
$(warning Please move your source tree to a case-sensitive filesystem.)
$(warning ************************************************************)
$(error Case-insensitive filesystems not supported)
endif
endif
endif
It will disable the case-sensitivity check.
================edited====================
Again thanks to korn36 for the elegant python switch solution:
find . -name "*.py" -exec sed -i 's/$bin\/env\ python$\|bin\/python$$/bin\/env\ python2/g' {} \;
Thanks to Kacper for heads me up to a typo I made.
===============edited=====================
or still other script provided by Scimmia (Thanks Scimmia)
or simply
find . -name "*.py" -exec sed -i 's/env python$/&2/' {} \;
Just FYI both scripts works flawlessly!
Best Regards

[KDE] Force ntfs drives to be case insensitive. How?

Hi to all,
I use KDE and I mount usb ntfs drives with the applet (no fstab configs).
I would like to configure KDE and ntfs-3g to mount ntfs drives using the mount option "windows_names" to force linux to consider that filesystem as case insensitive (as is the default under Windows XP).
Is there any config file I can use to set such an option?
Thank you,
Xwang
PS I don't know if it is the correct forum to post such a question. In case it isn't, can some moderator move the discussion to the correct forum, please?

Short Answer: No.
I did some digging and it looks like this is not possible to set in a config file.
KDE uses udisks "under the hood" to mount filesystems. In most cases, KDE just asks udisks to use its default settings. However, sometimes KDE will pass along extra mount options. For example, KDE forces udisks to use the flush option on vfat volumes as a result of this bug report (https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=273792). This is all done in the source code (solid/solid/backends/udisks2/udisksstorageaccess.cpp).
UDisks has a bunch of default options, but they are also set in the source code (http://cgit.freedesktop.org/udisks/tree … lesystem.c). You could recompile with those defaults changed if you wanted to.
The KDE Solid backend for hardware has some plain text rules files in /usr/share/apps/solid/actions where you might be able to intercept KDE and insert your own program. Probably it is not worth the trouble.

How do I convert a case sensitive drive to a case insensitive drive?

I have recently purchased a MacMini Server, and installed the 2 internal hard drives in a RAID 0 configuration to obtain the speed and 1 TB capacity, but unfortunately (rather stupidly in retrospect) formatted the drive in case sensitive mode.
On installing the operating system and multiple applications, everything seemed to work well until I tried to install Adobe Acrobat X Pro. This application refuses to install on a case sensitive formatted drive, which I now understand is a common problem.
The question is how can I convert to a case insensitive format without reinstalling all of the software from scratch?
I have a Time Machine backup, and the easiest thing for me would be to reformat the drive, and then restore from the Time Machine backup.
Will this process work? Or will there be some complications and files that will not function if they were originally installed on a case sensitive drive?
Any help is appreciated....

iPartition can do it ( http://www.coriolis-systems.com/iPartition.php ).
from iPartition Help:
Make Case Sensitive/Case Insensitive
HFS+ now supports a case sensitive format as well as the usual case insensitive format. On a case sensitive volume, the names “Readme”, “README” and “ReadMe” would all represent different files, even if they were in the same folder.
This option allows you to non-destructively change a case sensitive volume into a case insensitive one, and vice-versa. If you are going from a case sensitive volume to a case insensitive volume, some of your files may be renamed automatically by iPartition so that they do not clash. If all of the files in the table below were in the same directory, the right hand column shows the new names iPartition would choose for them:
Old name New name
README.txt README.txt
ReadMe.txt ReadMe 1.txt
Readme.txt Readme 2.txt
README README
ReadMe ReadMe 1
Readme Readme 2
Notice that iPartition puts the number before any file extension.
N.B. iPartition does not transform filenames with numbers on the end back into their original forms. There is no way to tell which files were renamed by the user and which were renamed by the conversion process.

Deleting & renaming files - is there a shortcut to finder?

I am a recent convert from PC to Mac. So far so good. However, one thing starts to drive me up the wall which is deleting/renaming files in programs such as photoshop, word, excel etc.etc.
As far as I can tell, this is only possible in the finder menu. Is this Correct? I am using a lot of folders and subfolders - sometimes 3-4 levels deep. Every time I need to change/delete a file or filename - lets say while in photoshop, I have to go to finder and click my way through several levels of folders to the actual file I need to change. This is somewhat annoying and timeconsuming.
Question 1: is there a way to do these operations in - lets say photoshop directly?
Question 2: If not, is there a shortcut key that would point me automatically to the file in finder where I can make the changes?
Your input would be very helpful and save me some aggravation.

Hi Greg,
Thanks for your input. You are correct as far as "save" and "save as" is concerned. Windows and Mac work the same way.
However, as far as I can tell, in Mac you can only "delete" or "rename" a file in "finder" which forces you to open up finder and locate the file in order to delete or change it.
In windows you can do these 2 functions directly in the program (such as photoshop, excel or words). You do not have to go to "explorer or root directory" to make these changes which I believe would be the equivalent of "finder".
In any case, Terence solved the problem. By command clicking the name (title) of the file in any program, it opens up the directory in "finder". This way makes it easy to select the file and do the changes.

Specifying Case-Insensitive Element Names in XML Schema

Hope someone knows this!
Is it possible to define an an XML Schema Definition so that Element names in the target XML File can be case insensitive.
At the moment my Parser throws an error if the element names in the XML file do not have the exact same case as the definition in the XML schema.
E.g
In Schema i have:
<xsd:element name="HOSTINVENTORYLINE" type="HostInventoryLineType" maxOccurs="unbounded" minOccurs="0"/>
but in xml file i have
<HostInventoryLine field=""/>
or
<hostinventoryline field=""/>
Does anyone know anyway to get around this, so that the parser accepts the HostInventoryLine element in the xml as an instance of the HOSTINVENTORYLINE element defined in the schema.
Thanks in Advance
JJ

You could use substitution groups to handle this. You would need an entry in the schema for each valid capitalization. This won't scale well if you want to be completely case insensitive, but if you only support lower case, upper case, and camel case it should do the trick.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" elementFormDefault="qualified" attributeFormDefault="unqualified">
     <xs:complexType name="HostInventoryLineType">
          <xs:sequence>
               <xs:element name="an-element" type="xs:string"/>
          </xs:sequence>
     </xs:complexType>
     <xs:element name="HostInventoryLine" type="HostInventoryLineType"/>
     <xs:element name="HOSTINVENTORYLINE" type="HostInventoryLineType" substitutionGroup="HostInventoryLine"/>
     <xs:element name="hostinventoryline" type="HostInventoryLineType" substitutionGroup="HostInventoryLine"/>
</xs:schema>-Blaise
