MEL filenames case sensitive on Windows?

[admin1]

I just installed Maya 2016 SP6 on one of our Windows 10 x64 machines

After that, some of our global MEL procedures were not found anymore.

It seems that the casing of the filenames now became important: the filename must match the global proc name exactly.

So we have a MEL script named wman_ExporterUI with a global proc wman_exporterUI

I think that in previous versions of Maya, this was no problem on Windows, and now it seems to matter.

The problem is, the Windows NTFS filesystem is case insensitive...

Is this behavior by design?

Hi,

Yes, it is case sensitive and it's by design.

Testing:

proc Test() {
print "Testing for case sensitive\n";
}

Test;
test;

output:
Testing for case sensitive
// Error: line 6: Cannot find procedure "test". //

Thanks,

Vijay.
