dandv 0 Report post Posted July 7, 2004 In general, on a case-insenstitive file system such as NTFS or FAT32, when NDN needs to check if two filenames are the same, it should NOT simply compare them, but compare the lowercased (or uppercased) forms. That way, 'c:\a.a' will be detected as being the same as 'C:\a.a'. Not implementing this procedure could lead to potentially dangerous problems. Since I do not have the source code, I will let the NDN author discover and correct such incomplete checks. One example of a situation which leads to a bug is the fact that you can fool NDN in opening the same file in two windows, although Confirmations -> "Reload a file in viewer/editor" is checked: 1. Edit an existing file, let's say "c:\autoexec.bat" 2. Shift+F4 and type "C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT". 3. NDN will NOT detect that the files are the same.

AngelsHolocaust 0 Report post Posted July 7, 2004 Hi! indeed, shiftf4 doesnt check filename cases correctly the Confirmations.Reload file... option has nothing to do with opening the same file 2 times or more it is only related to the Shift-F3 keys RELOAD in viewer and editor thanks Stefan/AH Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dandv 0 Report post Posted July 8, 2004 the Confirmations.Reload file... option has nothing to do with opening the same file 2 times or more Right! It's the "Confirmations -> Open new window" setting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
