Re: [EP-tech] case-sensitiv File-extensions-query

Hi Avi,

You are not the first person to pick up on this issue:

https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Feprints%2Feprints3.4%2Fissues%2F54&amp;data=04%7C01%7C%7C7ebdfeccfb1642a5f11f08d87ce5b747%7C4a5378f929f44d3ebe89669d03ada9d8%7C0%7C0%7C637396673366687036%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&amp;sdata=6HUcj00C1v3o0vZN7x%2F0QdqkPYH3V78UlWENHnu4yT0%3D&amp;reserved=0
I was unable to get understand why this was not made case-insensitive so I amended this in: 

https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Feprints%2Feprints3.4%2Fcommit%2F7828cf32577179b6e2a47bba2e209bf43a86175e&amp;data=04%7C01%7C%7C7ebdfeccfb1642a5f11f08d87ce5b747%7C4a5378f929f44d3ebe89669d03ada9d8%7C0%7C0%7C637396673366697035%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&amp;sdata=Q5kyIo8fNfS6zNhkvVtqI5fJmdFuNDR63Qa40R1tXkI%3D&amp;reserved=0
So matching is now case-insensitive since EPrints 3.4.2.  I don't see any reason you could not backport this to an earlier version of EPrints (both 3.3.x and 3.4.x) if you have not yet upgraded to EPrints 3.4.2.

Hi,

i am wondering why ist the extensions-test in lib/cfg.d/media_info.pl case-sensitive,

( $filename =~ /\.(pdf|doc|docx|odt)$/ ) etc.

and not like:

( $filename =~ /\.(pdf|doc|docx|odt)$/i ) etc.


we get files with both extensions, [NAME].pdf and [NAME].PDF and now they are marked as in different Format.


[NAME].pdf will be format=Text
but
[NAME].PDF will be format=Other

is it accidentally or dose it have a reason that i don’t recognise?


Tanks & have a great weekend


Avi
