Sort by name separates upper/lower case

Since upgrading from Mountain Lion to Mavericks (10.9.4), I've noticed that I am no longer able to sort files by name and get one list in alphabetical order. I now get two, as Mavericks seems to be sorting out files beginning first with uppercase letters and then following with all lowercase letters:
Naturally, this makes it difficult to efficiently scan a directory for a file with a known name, as I'd have to look in two places. Terminal is showing file lists in the same manner. I have made sure that grouping is turned off, so as to not confuse the view while sorting. A related issue that I am dealing with is drop down menus in Apps or on websites where one can typically type the first few letters of an entry and snap right to it. However, typing "tim" will not bring up an entry in a font menu, for instance, if the thing I'm trying to get to is "Times New Roman" with an uppercase T. In this case, I would have to hold the shift key to get a capital letter and then let it go, so that the rest would be lowercase.
I don't remember any Mac operating system before this being so insistent on separating letter cases. Is there a way to disable this behavior?

The only thing I can think of would be that you set the OS up in a Case-sensitive file system, but since I’ve never used one, I don’t know for sure. I really don’t think that would be it, though.
Any Finder “enhancement” software?

  • How to search for upper/lower case using string using JAVA!!!?

    -I am trying to write a program that will examine each letter in the string and count how many time the upper-case letter 'E' appears, and how many times the lower-case letter 'e' appears.

  • Internal Order match-code fail becuase Upper-Lower case

    Hi
    I'need to search Internal Order using a piece of teh Order description.
    Unfortunately the description COAS-KTEXT is case sensitive, and the Order is not found if Upper/lower case rules are not respected. I Have create a new Z match-code, bust this has the same problem.
    Any Idea to solcve thsi issue ???
    Thanks for your help.
    Claudio

    Hello
    pls check OSS note 75233, is decribed the solucion you are looking for.
    Solution
    Check whether an F4 search for short text is required.
    You must then either allow for the fact that the selection criteria "short text" is case-sensitive, or you can change all the short text to uppercase. This change is then effective during all displays and entries of the short text for the order and cannot be reversed. Any information which is provided in lowercase letters is then lost.
    You should also consider creating an index for the field AUFK-KTEXT.
    If you want to change to uppercase letters, proceed as follows:
    1. Modify the table AUFK. The field KTEXT requires another data element with a domain in which the flag "lowercase letters" is not marked. The most effective solution is to copy the data element and the domains and in addition to the descriptions, change only flag "lowercase letters"
                  This change means that for overhead cost orders (transactions KO01, KO02) only short text in uppercase letters can be recorded. 
    2. To change the already existing database entries to uppercase letters run report RDOTXT2U which is contained in the standard program and the current version of which is shown below. Please read the documentation for this report.

  • Upper Lower Case for Input Fields of ALV

    Hi,
    i have an ALV has some input fields columns. All values of input fields are upper case after entering something into that input fields (etc. airline -> AIRLINE).
    how to add upper lower case control to ALV? (etc. airline -> airline, AIRLINE -> AIRLINE)
    Thanks.

    Dear Narullah,
    The elements of your table consists of data types you can maintain in the SE11.
    The data type are based on a domain which you can maintain in SE11 as well.
    Just go to SE11 and check the domain which is behind the table field. On the tab "Definition" of the domain just checkmark "Lower Case". Afterwards the system does not translate your input to upper case automatically.
    If you use a SAP domain, you need to copy it to customer namespace, set the lower case flag, create a new data type based on your own domain and use it in the structure of your internal table.
    Does this help?
    Regards,
    Hendrik

  • XML element names required in lower case

    Hi,
    I am on release 4.6C
    I create an XML file from internal table using FM SDIXML_DATA_TO_DOM and SDIXML_DOM_TO_XML.
    The internal table is defined such that the  fieldnames of internal table are same as element names in XML file.
    The XML file gets created properly, but the element names appear in upper case.
    The requirement is to have it in lower case.
    Does anybody have any idea about how to control the case here?

    Hi Sudhir
    you can convert field names manually using translate command to convert it to lower case.
    hope this helps.

  • ZCM 11-TP: device names always in lower case

    Hello,
    I'm just wonder why ZCM registers all linux device names in lower case, independent if the host name on the device itself is written in upper or lower case.
    Is this how ZCM did it all the time or is there a specific reason for this ?

  • Upper / Lower case using SQL

    Hello friends,
    i have to read a field out of a dbtable. The field contains e.g. a string like "a11B". During the sql selection i would like to use upper or lower case to transform the string to "A11B":
    SELECT...WHERE UPPER(attribute) IN range_variable.
    Can somebody say how this command looks like in abap?
    I haven't found a command for abap like UPPER() or UCASE() using mysql.
    <<help>>
    daniel

    Depending on you database system, you can use native SQL. For Oracle:
    report ztest no standard page heading.
    tables lfa1.
    data: name like lfa1-name1 value 'TEST'.
    EXEC SQL.
      SELECT *
      INTO :LFA1
      FROM  LFA1
      WHERE UPPER(NAME1)  =  :NAME
    ENDEXEC.
    This will select where the name is "Test" or "TEST" or other combinations.

    for(Row row:iter1.getAllRowsInRange){   \\here iter1 is your view iterator
      if(valueEnteredByuser.equalIgnoreCase(row.getAttribute("col1").toString())){   \\here col1 is your attribute that contains the value  and valueEnteredByuser is the value entered by user

  • Upper lower case problem.

    Dear all,
    in the following code i want to cmpare the database user with the user in my table.
    here is a problem when i connect with the user which name is stored in upper case in table its okey.
    but when i login with a user which name is store in lower case in table its give error :GLOBAL.FRM_USER not found.
    declare
    vusr varchar2(10);
         v_db_user varchar2(20);
    begin
         select user
         into v_db_user
         from dual;
         select LOGIN
         into vusr     from mis.SETUP_USERS
         where LOGIN= v_db_user;
                                  :GLOBAL.FRM_USER := VUSR;
    end;
    Thanks in advance.

    Are you getting this error directly in this piece of code?
    If the following select does not find a value I think an exception would be raised which would mean you bypass the assignment of your global
    select LOGIN
    into vusr from mis.SETUP_USERS
    where LOGIN= v_db_user;
    Later if you reference :GLOBAL.FRM_USER on the right hand side of an assignment you will probably get the error
    If you use default_value('GLOBAL.FRM_USER','some value you think is relevant'); at the top of this code you should not get the error (I hope) but you should maybe consider if the select into raises an exception you want to deal with it, or consider using upper to ensure you match on usernames, but be careful you do not invalidate an index lookup.

  • Issue with upper/ lower case in HR report...

    Hello,
    I am working on a HR report. Based on last name on selection screen, I am fetching some data
    from intotables.
    The problem is, for example in case of last name, the system expects the user to type the
    last name in exact case as its stored in database table.
    So for example, if last name is "Anja" in database table, then if user types "ANJA" or "anja" or aNja, the
    select query does not fetch the data.
    How can I modify the query so that, even if user types last name in any case, it should still fetch the
    record.

    Hi,
    Use NCHMC instead of NACHN as NCHMC stores last name in upper case.
    Convert contents of S_LAST to uppercase before using in where clause..

  • Autocomplete upper/lower case

    I am currently running 3.0.04(Build MAIN-04.34) on Windows XP. For a while I had the auto complete working exactly as I wanted it, and now it is always showing upper case.
    What I want to happen
    I type "SELECT * FROM myschema.ta" and then hit ctrl+space I want it to auto complete to "SELECT * FROM myschema.table" instead it is currently auto completing to "SELECT * FROM MYSCHEMA.TABLE"(about 90% of the time) or occasionally "SELECT * FROM MYSCHEMA.table"(about 10% of the time). I've tried messing with the various settings but I can't seem to find the right combination. Also, the fact that the behavior changes baffles me. I am assuming I am altering the preferences somehow without realizing.

    Hi Claytonian,
    Actually, there is.
    On Preferences - Shortcut Keys, fill 'convert' on the search box.
    It will show you the list of available command to change to upper or lower case, however unfortunately there is no initcap.
    In my SQL Dev, I put Ctrl + U as the key combination for 'Convert Selection to Uppercase', and Ctrl + L for 'Convert Selection to Lowercase'.
    Hence, using these key combinations, we can change case without modifying the autocomplete preferences.
    I rarely used initcap, so I guess this is quite enough.
    If you feel the need of initcap, feel free to put suggestion on SQL Developer Exchange.

    Buntoro

  • Upper/ Lower case bug

    Hi,
    I have an issue when trying to create a report with upper and lower case variables. BW only allows me to bring in the upper or lower case variable, even though I can see both. This means I cannot bring back all information
    e.g I select BUSINESS WAREHOUSE and BW converts this to business warehouse and vice versa.
    Please let me know if anyone has had this before.
    Thanks

  • Upper/Lower case conversion

    Hi folks,
    Apart from the Infoobject General tab where an infoobject can be selected to allow Lower case letters, are there any other areas where this can be done? We need to allow this for a standard infoobject and thinking is that we can change this at some other level such as do a conversion at the datasource level so only uppper cases flow through. This is a char field but can contain both Upper cases and Lower cases. Right now, with the standard infoobject the DTP load fails when trying to load the data with lower case characters.
    Thanks for your help.

    Hi,
    As mentioned above you will have to use TRANSLATE command to do the conversion. Now you can either write a routine at Infoobject level or write a field routine for conversion. In case of infoobject routine again you might have to change the original infoobject so I would suggest you to go for Field level routine in transformation.
    RESULT = source_fields-XYZ.
    TRANSLATE RESULT TO UPPER CASE.

  • Dynamic Search - Upper/lower case of Search Criteria

    Hi,
    If I enter a search criterion in lower case in the text box field of my dynamic search, the string gets automatically converted to upper case when I press 'Search'. Is there any way to retain the case of the search parameter value?

    Hi,
    the data types for the input fields of the search mask are of type STRING. There is no conversion done there.
    If the case changes it has to be done in the applicatgion logic of the view controller, most probably the EH_ONSEARCH().
    Another hot option is the data element that is used for the parameter. Does it allow lower case values?
    cheers Carsten
