TYPO3 Core

Cant confirm the problem. Could upload file with name Cute-Cats-cats-33440930-1280-800.jpg and find a sys_file record in current master.

Hi Norman,

There is already a check in core to see if you have got an case-sensitive file system and sets the checkbox of the file storage.
But it could be that this needs some extra finetuning.

Did you do an upgrade or an clean install of 6.2.2?

Hi Frans,

I upgraded from 6.2.0 to 6.2.2, so it's possible that this setting came from 6.2.0. I'm going to set up a clean install of 6.2.2 in a few days on the same server and check what happens here.

You did not have these problems on 6.2.0? And was that a clean install or an upgrade?

I just set up a fresh installation/clean install (6.2.3). The ceckbox was not set here, so it seems this is not checked by default. I am on a different system now so it's possible, that the core just don't checked the box because it's not needed on my system.

I stumbled on the same issue today and checking the "Uses case sensitive identifiers" box indeed solved the problem.

Frans, given what you said, I can highlight one typical scenario: in our office, all developers work locally on Mac, but the servers are Linux. So I guess that when a file storage is first created locally (i.e. on Mac OS), FAL detects a case-insensitive system. When the site is later placed on a Linux server, the file storage behaves "wrongly".

I'm not sure what can be done to help here, but it is obvious that the utter lack of FAL documentation does not help at all.

And I would say that this option should be "On" by default, as it does not hurt on case-insensitive systems (at least not on Mac OS), and it seems rather pointless to me to force all lowercase.

This option can't be on by default. The option is selected/deselected automatically while creating a storage, depending on the ability of the underlying system.

For non case-sensitive systems my.gif is the same as MY.GIF, so we are on the safer side if we do lowercasing on such systems.

I vote for closing this issue as "Won't fix" an integrator who moves his TYPO3 installation from a case-sensitive to an case-insensitive filesystem (or vice-versa) should know to change this checkbox. Maybe we can add a test in the install-tool that checks if the correct system is selected.

Where can I find check checkbox "Uses case sensitive identifiers" ???
Can't see it in the All configuration section (Install Tool).

This is a setting of the file storage. You find the storage records in the page tree root.

Omg... -.-

Thanks Frans!

So, can we close this issue?
