<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Thank you, Troy for the light on the
subject.<br>
The eBible.org repository refresh is done, again, with no case
squashing anywhere, and consistent capitalization. I hope. (Tell
me if I missed something, of course.)<br>
<br>
I'm not worried about case collisions in the repository, as all
module names are unique without regard to case, but just more
readable with mixed case. (I would discover any exceptions when I
copy them to a case insensitive file system for testing with
Windows or Mac if I goofed.) Since the zip files don't follow the
same case-squashing convention (a kind of confusing exception), I
think it is probably less error-prone to just always do the same
thing with case. I'm not worried about 8.3 file systems or PalmOS
for these, as they are mostly minority language Bibles in
countries where I haven't seen a PalmOS device in use for years.
My own last PalmOS device disintegrated years ago. The most common
platforms actually used will be Android, followed by iOS, Windows,
Mac OS, and Linux, in that order. (Anyone running Solaris, HPUX,
BSD Unix, etc., is probably geeky enough to compile their own.)<br>
<br>
Anything else?<br>

<pre wrap="">Not commenting on the merits, but only on the necessities and history:
Module names can (often should be for readability) upper and lower case
DataPath needs to match exactly the data path on the file system. The
case needs to match because some operating systems are case sensitive.
Historically, we've always lowercased the all file and folder names for
better consistency between OS/FSs that ignored case and others that
don't. i.e., if we only use one case, then we shouldn't run into any
problems. This has just been historical convention and maybe to avoid
issues on 8.3 FSs from long ago or wince or palmos or something, but the
important thing today is that the configuration file DataPath entry
needs to match the actual data path or else OS/FSs that do honor case
will not find the files.
It is such a blessing the work you and everyone have done to make these
resources available!

<pre wrap="">It seems to me that squashing to lower case for file system references
is what caused problems in the first place, because I didn't also squash
the module name to lower case. Wouldn't it be better to keep the module
name the same as the file & directory names? Of course, I could squash
both to lower case, but that raises readability issues where I use case
to show a transition from language code to translation abbreviation,
like thaKJV2003.
Right now, a process is running to make the casing match on everything,
but it is not squashing everything to lower case.
What do you think?

<pre wrap="">I've just been periodically trying to load up the entire content and
reporting what I find doesn't work.
As for fixing this sort of thing, generally speaking I believe we have
always recommended that all filesystem references (DataPath in .conf;
directories' names that contain content; module-internal references
like <img src="/images/xyz.jpg">) be squashed to lowercase.
