Feature Request: Add case sensitive option

[slackuser0xae34]

Please add a case sensitive option for file/tree listings, when convenient. Some of us compare file listings between Qtfm and Bash shell (which is case sensitive).

I've coded a preliminary patch that allows the qtfm6.conf file to provide for case sensitive file listings. The config file would need a line: "caseSensitive=true" to enable case sensitive listings. The line must be manually added to the qtfm6.conf file. If the line is either missing or something other than "true" then the current default action is used.

I've tested this with file listing but not the tree listing option. I only use the file listing display.
Thanks for a great file manager and the consideration of my request.

Best Regards, slackuser0xae34

Thanks for the patch. Sadly I have been very busy for a couple of months, but I will try to get a new version out this month.

I've done further testing and the earlier patch doesn't make the tree view case sensitive. I've updated the patch to make the tree view case sensitive. However, this patch does not make the configuration screens case sensitive. This is only a patch to make the display files/directories case sensitive.

Thanks again. slackuser0xae34

Sorry for including the patch in this text. The GitHub file selector didn't work, neither a text nor zip file could be attached.

Opps, closed by accident. Still trying to figure out GitHub stuff. S.
