Posted: Tue Sep 14, 2010 4:43 pm Post subject: Load profile converts profile name to lowercase |
|
|
I have directories and profile names setup with camel case, like: \vvprofiles\Test_Bluebird\Test_Bluebird.fsf
When you open the profile it converts it all to lowercase: ex.
\vvprofiles\test_bluebird\test_blubird.fsf
When you save the profile, it keeps the original case that Windows had, that is fine.
Problem: The problem is that if you use environment variable to create the log file it is creating the log file all in lowercase. And I would like it to keep the same case as they show in the Windows directories and profile names. Here's how I have the log file creation setup:
\VVLogs\<profile>\<profile>_<date>T<time>.log
So the <profile> variable is using the lowercase profile name that VV converted it to when it loaded the profile. It is not keeping the actual case that the directory and profile name has in windows.
Thanks,
Waldo |

Hello,
I can't reproduce this:

Where does this happen?

How to reproduce:
On my N: (mapped to a DFS share that is shared by team) drive I have the folder name and case setup as:
N:\VVProfiles\TEST_Bluebird\TEST_Bluebird.fsf
(N: ) is a mapped drive to the following dfs path:
\\HFILE\PRODUCTION_CONTROL\VVProfiles\TEST_Bluebird\TEST_Bluebird.fsf
I keep all the VV Profiles in this DFS share so that all the team members of Production Control can share the profiles, instead of everyone having their own copies on their own desktops.
When I load the profile TEST_Bluebird.fsf it opens with this in the VV Title bar: n:\vvprofiles\test_bluebird\test_bluebird.fsf
This causes the <profile> environment variable to capture the profile name in lower case. So when I use the variable in the Log file creation it creates the Log file in lower case. |

Very strange, could be an issue with that DFS share?
Try to store the profile locally, you'll see that does not happen. I also tried on our network and the file casing is properly maintained.
