OSX trying to be clever
May 14th, 2006, 6:03pm  
Whenever I port some code from PC to OSX the Macintosh computer in question does this annoying habit of picking random files and capitalising them. This renders them invisible to Processing because I'm guessing of the whole Java case sensitive thing.

The solution of course is to go to the sketch folder and undo the "cleverness" of OSX and reload. Everything is back.

It would be nice for Processing to be smart about this issue. It would save our 1st year digital students a lot of head-scratching and unnecessary time copying and pasting code from TextEdit.

well .. not to start os-fights here, but actually it's WIN that hides the uppercase-names from you and os-x just shows you the real deal. Smiley

try:
r-name

let's you do magic on all kind of file-names .. even WIN ones.

that sounds more like a setting in your ftp client or whatever you're trying to use to transfer the files.

if you try to do loadImage("blah.JPG") in the editor, and the file is called "blah.jpg", you should get an error telling you to rename the file.
