Case preserving

Configures the MVFS to preserve the case of the names of view-private files. When the Case Preserving check box is cleared, as it is by default, the MVFS converts the names of view-private files to lowercase.

This option is available only when the Case-Insensitive MVFS check box is selected. When the MVFS uses case-sensitive file lookup, it always preserves the case of view-private file names.

Select the Case Preserving check box if you use applications, such as some Java compilers, that require the case of file names to be preserved.

Warning: If you change the setting of the Case Preserving option, you may encounter problems when you write new versions of files that were created when the previous setting was in effect. For example, conflicts may arise if a development environment automatically generates files with mixed case or uppercase names.
