Vortex recently started listing all plugin names in lower case.

I noticed that the plugins were listed in lower case and didn't think anything of it. Then I tried to run zEdit to make a new zPatch and saw that AWKCRifier and Workshop Organizer modules were disabled because they were unable to find the required plugins: "ArmorKeywords.esm" and "OWM-Master.esl". I found the titles of the plugins in plugins.txt were listed in lower case. Some tools in use aren't case insensitive. Is there some way I can revert this behavior?

There was a change in 0.17.x to how Vortex saves plugins internally.

Since windows filesystems are usually case insensitive, it shouldn't matter if the file is referred to as "ArmorKeyword.esm", "armorkeyword.esm".

 

Previously Vortex internally stored plugins with their original name (case sensitive) but this lead to problems when the LOOT masterlist had it stored with different case or if a mod author changed the case of their plugin name in an update/patch.

Now Vortex stores plugins lower-case internally and only maps that to the real name on disk for rendering (to screen and to plugins.txt). This only works when the files are actually deployed (the plugin list could contain files from mods that are enabled but not yet deployed) and I can't rule out that a bug keeps that from working.

 

However: Again, this shouldn't matter. "ArmorKeyword.esm" and "armorkeyword.esm" are the same file. If zEdit doesn't see those as being the same file that's actually the same bug in zEdit: it's not correctly taking filesystem case-sensitivity into account.

I will try to fix this on the Vortex end too though, just not sure what's causing it yet.
