My LDraw code used "P/" and "PARTS/" when looking for parts and primitives,
so those had to be upper case in order to work. I think everything else
generally needed to be lower case. The new test version I posted a link to
in the other message should get around the problem. It ran fine on my EXT3
filesystem, even after I played games with the case of the directory names
and the file names.
There are a few things I need to do to speed it up in certain cases. Right
now it tries to open the file with the entire path in lower case, then the
entire path in upper case, then it does a case-insensitive search for the
file. For parts in the LDraw directory, this case-insenstive search starts
at "/", and gets built up one directory at a time. If your LDraw directory
path contains mixed case anywhere, the full case-insensitive search has to
be used for every single part and primitive. This is fairly slow. I can
get around this by not case-converting the LDraw path. Then at least having
consistent case for primitives and parts allows them to be found without
resorting to a brute force search.
