Loading image files only in lower case?

[mhc]

Hi Erel,

I found that we could load an image file only if it is stored on the drive in lower case.
i.e.:

Name.jpg or name.JPG could only loaded when renamed in name.jpg

Is that right?

How are you loading the image?

I have an array of string:

dialogs(3)="IWin.jpg"  [COLOR="Red"]<= that's the spelling of the file stored on the hard disk[/COLOR]

I have a BitmapDrawable:

Dim bd As BitmapDrawable

I have a Sub which shows the image:

bd.Initialize(LoadBitmap(File.DirAssets,dialogs(DialogNr)))
imgDialog.Background=bd

In this way I get an error on emulator during the app is running: File not exist.
When I change the name of the file on the hard disk from IWin.jpg to iwin.jpg then the app run well.
And it is not necessary to change the spelling of file name inside the code:
dialogs(3)="IWin.jpg" still works!

So, in program code I can use the origin spelling of file name, but I have to change to lower case on hard disk.

Did you add the file with the file manager (the Files tab)?

I did so. You can see it on the game Pong I posted yesterday.
Of course with now changed spelling in lower case.

I can reproduce it. However if I'm not missing something, it can only happen if you manually change the case of an existing file. When you add a file with the file manager it lower cases the file in the file system.
