Re: image file types and case sensitivity

Sounds reasonable.

I don't think anyone sane would treat and depend on extensions as case sensitive. If they're depending on that, they're doing something wrong.

Hi,

in GWorkspace, there is a simple selector for the desktop image. I
noticed that it doesn't show an image I recently got off my iPhone, a
simple JPEG. Wondering, I started debugging.

The code does the following:

   result = [openPanel runModalForDirectory: imagesDir
                                       file: nil
                                      types: [NSImage imageFileTypes]];

which is perfectly reasonable, isn't it?

I printed out the file types:

NSimage filetypes: (tiff, tif, pnm, ppm, gif, jpeg, jpg, png, icns)

I think the issue is that my file is .JPG and not .jpg

Should the open panel become case-insensitive regarding extensions? I
think yes, if possible. Else, all filetypes could be lower and upper
case, but that would leave out mixed-cases...

What's your opinion?
