Saving File come out all CAPS

[oz]

Can anyone please tell me how to get MC to not save the file names in all CAPITALS? I have tried different fonts and as long as you use all small case the file will save in small case, but the minute you use an upper case the file saves only in UPPER CASE. I have set the file directory to accept both UPPER and lower case but MC will now only save in UPPER CASE. This is not a major issue but it make the file names hard for me to read. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

That is a good question.

 

After you save a file, you can rename it with small case and it will stay.

 

Is this a feature or bug?

Tri-Tech I think will be an undocumented feature.

or for short "A bug"

Scott,

 

Now, now, not all undocumented features are bugs. Try this one and tell me if it's a bug.

 

Open up the operations manager and press Ctrl, Shift, and double right click (added after Pointed out my missing info) below the High Feed Button in the grey area. Last time I checked, this was not documented anywhere.

I agree, not all undocumented features are bugs.

But see the majority of bugs are called undocumented features .

In my V9 the only thing I get is the drop down menu. What should I get?

Marc,

 

This is what you should see.

Marc,

 

I like you only get the drop down menu, This feature if I can get it to work looks like somthing that I might be able to use.

To see the binary nci options box you need to place the mouse under the Highfeed button in the grey area.

Thanks Allan,

 

Now it works

That's cool but does this window have any use? I am not sure what it would be used for?

Did anyone actually answer Oz's question?

Of course not. We just hijacked his thread. At least I'm honest........

I use it for debugging stuff, it's also handy when doing Post Work.

Oz,

 

You have two choices when saving files, CAPITALS or CAPITALS that are later renamed to lowercase. I have the same issue, it's rather annoying.

[Guest CNC Apps Guy 1]

On my computer, I have alternating upper and lower case in folder AND file names. (ex. Sk4481-3d1.mc9) I'm running NT4.0 SP6 with restricted permissions.

Thanks for the trick. I can use it to edit posts.

Why the big concern for upper vs lower case?

[oz]

Having ALL UPPER CASE file names are for most people difficult to read. Why I don't know other than we have been taught that you use Upper & Lower Case in normal everyday life. If I don't go to the trouble of re-naming our files and send them to our controller when you look up the file name to run the file there is very little space between the file names. If all CAPS. the files just about touch the line up and line down. And if you have file names that are similar it is too easy to pick the wrong file. The other reason is just personal preference. Plus it just plain-ol-bugs-me that this happens. You pay a fortune for CNC equipment and software to run it, you would think that you could use upper & lower case for file names. Instead of only upper case. If someone posting messages on this forum used only CAPS I am sure that that person would be lamb-basted for there use of CAPS. Am I right or WRONG?
