Lowercase Drive in LAZ 4.4 Project Inspector
Adie:
Hi All
Win11 Laz 4.4
Since I upgraded to 4.4 random new files added to the project get a lowercase drive letter which cause havoc with the TREE. This never happened in prev Laz versions. The Name in the Project.LPI file is uppercase but the IDE convert to lowercase.
See the Attachment.

That is from 4.2? Or from an earlier (4.0 or 3.x) version?
I don't use the hierarchical project view myself, and a quick try didn't get me this issue (though that was tested with 4.99).
I also glanced over the changes since 4.2 => nothing that looked suspicious. But that doesn't mean there couldn't be something hidden... But its also possible the issue existed, and didn't get triggered before. Either triggered by something else in the IDE, or by a change to the project file, or ....
If your upgrade was from 4.2, have you tried to go back to 4.2 (making a backup of the project first / to keep the files that can reproduce the issue / just in case it is triggered by the lpi/lps)? Did that fix the issue?
Also "Project Options" => Path => that should have a list of all the paths used in your project. Do the all have uppercase D: ?
What else could be different about the file with the lower d: ?
You highlighted "hbudate", how does the xml for "hbcore" look?

Naming has been changed to default, probably for linux name convenience, to naming files all in lower case.
Go to Menu/tools/option/environment/naming and
correct the automatic renaming options.
Has been a real nuisance when introduced.

A quick scan didn't reveal that the Project Inspector checks the case of characters when adding a node. Apparently, it must be OS-specific and take that into account.
Also, it uses a tree filter, and I don't see a property responsible for char case control there either. But I didn't look deeply...
I contacted Juha, who maintains the filters and recently made a change to the file case (#10370).

That issue implemented a feature to rename all project files to lower-case.
It can be found in menu Project -> "Rename Unit Files to LowerCase ...".
Nothing to do with filters.
Even that feature renames only file names, not any directory names. Adie's issue here looks weird. Can somebody reproduce somehow?
