    1. [TMG] Caps in Project Names
    2. Rick Van Dusen via
    3. In (finally) migrating to v9, I've discovered that all my project names have been stripped of any capital letters.* Is there a setting for that somewhere? Rick Van Dusen ------------------------------------ * Such as, VanDusen was replaced with vandusen. This can make a difference because it means backups are also named with no caps, and I exchange sqz files through a Linux server, which sees VanDusen and vandusen as different filenames.

    3. Rick, I am not aware of any setting to control capitalization of TMG project files. I am not aware that there was any change in v9 regarding filename capitalization, but there may have been. Unfortunately, depending on specific capitalization for TMG filenames is difficult because TMG is inconsistent, and has been since TMG v5 if not before. For example, here's three files for the "S" table: PROD_S.CDX PROD_S.DBF prod_s.FPT Two have "PROD_S" and one has "prod_s". For the "U" table, there are two files: PROD_U.CDX prod_u.dbf Different capitalization again, and unlike the "S" table, the DBF file has a lowercase name and extension. TMG says TOMATO, but TMG also says tomato, ToMaTo, etc. John

    3. Thanks, John. Yes, I've seen the inconsistency you describe; some file names are ALLCAPS and others are, in my folders, SomeCaps in TMG8 but nocaps after migration to TMG9. (I looked back and there seems also to be, in the TMG8 folder, some mixture of SomeCaps and nocaps. I find no such mix on my old computer [Win2000 with FAT32 filesystem], so possibly Win7/NTFS is "being smarter".) It appears, though, that whatever the layout of the *.pjc file name, that is used as the project name and the .sqz file name. (I also tried to rename one project, but TMG didn't seem to understand what I was trying to do and left the name as nocaps.) So looks like we're going to have to watch what we're doing either in the Backup process (make the destination file name consistent) and/or in the FTP client (select the newer of myproject or MyProject). (Still awaiting my cousin's answer as to whether TMG9 on his computer is doing the same thing.)
