      TID: Mystic BBS 1.12 A46       MSGID: 2:301/113 f7f9000e       REPLY: 1:129/215 969d8bb9       TZUTC: 0100       Hi G00r00              I know I need to update to the A47 version, but I have too many things on my       plate at the moment, and I am also unable to work due to massive disc       problems. I can't sit in front of the PC non-stop and do everything because I       want to do a clean installation of the A47 with data transfer to /mysticbbs       and no longer to /home/mystic/mysticbbs/..... There are a few things that       need to be done, but it's not going so quickly with the disc problems.               g0> AS> I always have problems receiving and processing files with TIC and        g0> AS> attachments (tossing) if the attachment or the TIC file has a space i        g0> AS> the name. This does not cause any problems for Windows users because        g0> AS> they can handle spaces, but it does for us Linux and Raspberry Pi use        g0> AS> with a Linux.        g0>         g0> Another thing to consider here is that in Unix systems filenames are case        g0> sensitive. So for example:              Yes, I realise that the addon/option would have to harmonise the filenames       all to lower case and without spaces that are previously replaced by       underscores "_" before sending these files via the FTN mailer with a TIC file       to it.              The other question in general is whether it doesn't also make sense that file       uploads are generally harmonised and stored on the hard disk in lower case       and without spaces which are replaced by underscores "_". Then the problem       would always be solved in any case.               g0>         g0> AS> + Jan 09 09:25:37 File MyGUI v1.0.2.26.zip Area FSX_MUTL From 21:1/10        g0>         g0> If your .TIC has "MyGUI v1.0.2" as the filename but the actual file is        g0> "mygui v1.0.2" in lower case, then those are not the same files in Unix.        g0> This could be a reason why it would work in Windows (which is not case        g0> sensitive) but not in Linux.        g0>         g0> If we determine this is your issue, then maybe what I can do is add a new        g0> option that you can turn on to make that TIC filename check case        g0> insensitive in Unix.        g0>               As far as I know, A47 users are also affected by the same problem, so it       seems to me that this problem is not fixed yet. As I said, it would be best       to have a parameter that you can switch on/off. So that the religion of the       20th century does not collide with the religion of the 21st century. There       are different views on what needs to be solved where and when 8.3 or       harmonised long file names.               Best regards               Alisha Manuela       --- Mystic BBS v1.12 A46 2020/08/26 (Linux/64)        * Origin: swissIRC BBS (2:301/113)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 15/0 30/0 80/1 90/1 103/705 105/81 106/201 120/340       SEEN-BY: 123/131 129/305 153/7715 154/10 218/700 221/1 6 226/30 227/114       SEEN-BY: 229/110 307 424 426 428 452 550 664 700 240/1120 5832 249/206       SEEN-BY: 249/317 400 266/512 280/464 282/464 1038 292/854 301/0 1       SEEN-BY: 301/101 113 317/3 320/219 322/757 335/364 341/66 342/200       SEEN-BY: 396/45 633/280 712/848 920/1 5020/1042 5058/104       PATH: 301/113 1 229/426           |
