Libs paths are case sensitive in windows
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

In the attached casesentitive.zip file are two files:
- group.blend
- main.blend

Please keep object.blender in the "Objects" subfolder as it's.

1) open main.blend
2) run the script in the Text Editor
3) look at the outliner, two libraries references were created (instead of only one).

Andrea, do you think you could take a look at that? Thanks.

Event Timeline

Thanks a lot Campbell, really.
This bug seems "harmless", but it potentially creates broken files very easily (and it was a hard to track bug).
I'll test tomorrow with my production files and let you know if anything strange is still going on. Thanks again.

Re-opening, this fixed the reported file, but I still have one related problem here.

My Blender file is on:
C:\CupCake\SharkVid\Assets\Scenes\Scene01\Scenes01.blend

I'm trying to link a group that is on:
C:\cupcake\SharkVid\Assets\newReefTmp.blend

After linking the group what I see in the Libraries window in the Outliner is:
"//..\..\..\..\cupcake\SharkVid\Assets\newReefTmp.blend"

If after that I try to link the same file again (as in, linking another group from this file) things work well even if I use CupCake instead of cupcake for the path (after your fix).
So it seems that Blender is still using casecheck to create the "relative path"?

Thanks Campbell, after your re-fix on rev. #36052 it's all working.
I'm closing it again (and yes our internal SVN folder is called cupcake ;)
