[GRASSLIST:6586] Re: [GRASS5] MacOSX file name recognition bug in G6?

Hi Markus

Hi,

today I worked on a colleague's MacOSX. Surprisingly I had
the following problem:

#Remove MASK:
GRASS 6.1.cvs (pat_gaussboaga):~ > g.remove MASK
REMOVE [MASK]
raster
header
category
color
history
misc
fcell MISSING
g3dcell MISSING

#create file with name 'mask' (but not MASK):
GRASS 6.1.cvs (pat_gaussboaga):~ > r.mapcalc "mask=if(isnull(po06_snow007),null(),1)"
100%
[Raster MASK present]
-> ouch.

GRASS 6.1.cvs (pat_gaussboaga):~/0.875/SCRIPTS/geotop0.875 > g.copy mask,MASK
ERROR: <MASK> already exists
[Raster MASK present]

Is MacOSX unable to distinguish between mask and MASK?

Yes, it's a feature of Darwin/OS X and the HD format used in OS X: HFS+. The same name (upper or lower) is not permitted.

Bye
