This is not a good solution, because: 1. Other file systems can be case-insensitive too (FAT for instance). -- Adam Nohejl Loki Software mailto:adam@lokisw.com http://lokisw.com _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.

The information is there in the volume header. If you want to find out more about volume headers you can do a search on the developer.apple.com for "tn 1150" or HFSPlusVolumeHeader. 2. There can be other equivalent names with the same case, in HFS for instance composed vs decomposed Unicode - "a\314\201" and "\303\241" is the same file name (represents aacute). And of course if you're comparing paths you've got from the user, "a/.///./../a/./b" and "a/b" is also the same file. This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
