Case Sensitive Image names

[FlipTopBin]

My apologies for this question which must have been asked 1000 times but I just can't find the answer at the moment:

I understand that

scene test

will match test.jpg and Test.jpg, but

scene Test

will match neither

Is there any way to make the image name in the scene statement case insensitive so that both of these statements will work the same?

I suspect the answer is "no" in which case there MUST be an existing feature request for this so where do I go to bump it. If there isn't a feature request then where do I go to log one?

P.S. I understand the Python is case sensitive and Linux file names are case sensitive but the majority of VNs must be viewed and developed on Windows these days where file names are case insensitive so artificially making them sensitive makes very little sense.

Sure, you can do that by not using the automatic image defining.

Code: Select all

image test = "images/test.jpg"
image Test = "images/Test.jpg"

Yeah. I am trying to get away from having to define everything through an image object which is what I do now.

Lets put this another way then: If Renpy is going to convert all my file names to lowercase before processing them, then there should be some corresponding behaviour you can switch on to convert all file names used in scene/show to lowercase as well. Where would I log such a feature request?

The other option would be to have some kind of content management system which converts case sensitive human readable names into lowercase identifiers. I have seen many games which use apparently machine generated file names for their images so are there utilities out there to manage my images for me?

I understand "what", but may I ask "why"?
Can't you simply write "scene test"?

My VN already has 100s of images and will be well into the 1000s by the time I am done so I have to give them descriptive multi-word names like:

BobAlleyJumpsLeftFiresGun

I could write

bob_alley_jumps_left_fires_gun

but this would involve me re-writing several hundred names at this point as I used the first naming convention which I normally use when proper programming. I will use a different naming convention if/when I write another VN but for now I am pretty much stuck with this.
