Bug Emacs 21.3: write-file downcasing


From: Dhruva Krishnamurthy
Subject: Bug Emacs 21.3: write-file downcasing
Date: Fri, 07 Feb 2003 11:08:06 +0530

Hello,
 I am using the following GNU Emacs version from CVS.
Emacs version:
GNU Emacs 21.3.50.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.0.2195) of 2003-02-05 on WOLFDEI
- When I use the command 'write-file', the filename becomes lowercase.
  After saving, the file along with the path is shown in lower case in
  the minibuffer.

Ex:
(write-file "Dummy.cpp")
=> saved as "dummy.cpp".
Though Win is a case insensitive platform, it makes the file names no so
user freindly when everything is in lower case. This is more visible when
you have long names
(ex:GraphicsDisplayUtilities.cpp=>graphicdisplayutilities.cpp)

This does not happen in the latest Pretest version:
GNU Emacs 21.2.95.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.0.2195) of 2003-02-07 on WOLFDEI

Approx problem area:
(set-visited-file-name "Dummy.cpp")
(buffer-file-name)=>"dummy.cpp"
In the file "files.el" and function 'set-visited-file-name', only for VMS
the downcasing is done. I do not know why this is happening.

Another minor problem:
In the DOTEMACS if you have,
(require 'cua)
(CUA-mode t)
(pc-selection-mode t)
The CTRL button just stops working. This is in the CVS version only and
not in Pretest version.

with regards,
dhruva
