| related to | 0004882 | acknowledged | Preflight Verifier: Implement name comparison checking for master pages, used images, etc |
|
|
Yep, why not? Its a bad Windows habit to ignore the case of names. |
|
|
how do other dtp apps handle this? i just noticed that all things (fonts, line styles...) are case sensitive. so it is a general decision. |
|
|
Franz: I know enterprises where case sensitiveness has costed huge amount of money due to errors. Case sensitiveness is not a good thing in all cases. I agree that we should not allow to create master pages with similar names. |
|
|
Disagree.. user sloppiness and windows mentality. We can have a warning in preflight or similar but no way should we have case insensitive naming. |
|
|
And it would be very hard to code that, all these Names are the keys in various QMap's. It would mean that we have to maintain 2 lists for every QMap then, one with the name the user entered, and one with the internal used name. Not very practical, and can cause a lot of bugs and confusion. |
|
|
what about creating a warning when a new name is created? we have to check for duplicate names anyway, so we could also check for case similarity or Levenshtein distance. |
|
|
i support avox. we should at least check present a warning/question to the user. |
|
|
No, I disagree here, but I support the idea of having a name check for master pages, imported images, etc etc, in preflight checker. We should not be popping up confirmation boxes all the time. |
|
|
We are not going to hamstring people who dont think A=a and l=1 so I'm closing this. Do not reopen it. I have put in 0004882 as a general implementation idea for 1.3.6+ where we offer to validate and check potential problems caused by Windows Case Blindness. |
