Description Ali Moosavi 2007-09-13 17:20:34 UTC

Version:           3.5.7 (using KDE 3.5.7, Debian Package 4:3.5.7.dfsg.1-4 (lenny/sid))
Compiler:          Target: i486-linux-gnu
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.21-2-k7

when you start typing an address in the location bar, a drop-down list gives you auto-completion suggestions. But it works case-sensitive which is annoying for MS-Windows users like me.

example:
I have a /usr/This/ folder on my machine and when I type /usr/t in location bar, the auto-completion drop-down list doesn`t suggest me /usr/This (because I have typed lower-case 't'). It would be better if the auto-completion worked case-insensitive.

I think that completion is a convenience feature and should be case insensitive by default, this is how it is in programming IDEs, completion is case insensitive(and sometimes it can be changed to case sensitive), it's more intuitive.

I think that this should be applied to all KDE file dialogs and to Dolphin, should I file separate bug requests for this?

I think that this bug is not valid anymore in the recently released KDE 4.2, The path completion in Konqueror, Dolphin and the file and folder dialogs are case-insensitive.

It is case-insensitive in Dolphin and thus file and folder dialogs but Konqueror still has the problem.

Yes you are right, fortunately the problem here is that my changes were late so it didn't go into 4.2, I've just built the trunk and konqueror address bar is case-insensitive, it'll be out in 4.3 I think.
