Description bmarcelly 2007-12-07 15:41:27 UTC 
Next attachment is a document which contains a Basic library "AA"
With the library organizer user interface, another Basic library named "aa" was 
created.
This shows that the user interface is case sensitive about library names.

However from another library, e.g. from Standard, you only have access to the 
routines of one of these libraries. The identification path used by Basic is NOT case 
sensitive.

A side effect is that you can inadvertently create a "twin" library just by making an 
incorrect lower or upper case on a letter of the library name.

This happens also using the API.

Same problem with "My Macros".

Comment 3 ab 2007-12-13 14:34:41 UTC 
The API cannot be changed any more as this would be incompatible
and I'm not sure about what can be done in the User Interface. My
only idea is to convert all library names to lower case, but I don't like
this idea very much. Anyway I don't think this is a very serious problem
as it's very easy to avoid. STARTED, OOLater, P4
