Browse Options on a Mac

On a Windows machine, I can have this for browse options: *.jpg

On a Mac, I have to have this: *.jpg;*.Jpg;*.JPG

Hi Paul,

 

Windows uses case-insensitive filehandling, while MacOS (like most/all Unix-style OS) can be/is case-sensitive

Best regards,

Mac's are case-insensitive when it comes to specifying a file.  But apparently case-sensitive when matching file patterns.

Macs can be case-sensitive or case-insensitive depending on how the file system has been configured.

 

It seems like it might be file dialog specific - the List Folder function with *.jpg as the pattern does match both upper and lower case extensions.

My Mac file system is configured as case-insensitive.

The "List Folder" function is indeed case-insensitive; yet the browse options are case sensitive.

 

Trying to figure a good workaround.
