Lower case upper case

[sugarplumsss]

When wishing to duplicate a registration - would merely changing the use of lower case and upper case letters in the spelling eg Bad Leroy BAd Leroy , when saving... would that subtle change in the name be sufficient for the t4 to register the new name as not a duplicate file? The usual way being adding a number after the name ??

Best off adding 2 at the end of the title.

Hi sugarplumsss,

Multiple files with the same name are not allowed within a folder. Upper or lower case makes no difference here. To duplicate files (e.g. Registration Bank files) without changing the name, simply copy them to another folder (on the same or another drive).

By the way, two files with the same name in the same folder ARE allowed if they have different icons. So if you keep the filename but change the ICON when saving to the same folder, this would be accepted. The reason is that this changes the so-called Icon ID (e.g. ".S123") in the file name. (The Icon IDs in file names only visible on the computer, not directly on the keyboard.) However, I warn against the method just described of having multiple files with the same name in a folder because this could lead to confusion.


Best regards,
Chris

Genius 🎶🤩
When all is said and done. Use a numeral after the name , correct ?

Yes, a number after the name allows you to have duplicate files. In doing this, you do not overwrite the original file.

Good luck,
