2017179 - Unable to rename a downloaded file to uppercase (or lowercase)

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox for Android :: Downloads, defect)

Description

[Cathy Lu [:calu]]

Allow renaming a downloaded file to an uppercase version of the file name (ie: url.pdf -> url.PDF or URL.pdf or URL.PDF).
The issue is with to.exists() in processFileRenaming (source code]. Java File API exists() is not case sensitive. A potential solution would be to investigate a different API that would allow us to check if the destination file name exists.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Download a file named url.pdf
2. From the download screen, rename, and type url.PDF
3. Click Save

Actual result: An error says "A file named "url.PDF" already exists in this location
Expected result: Allow to rename
