pdb uses os.path.abspath and os.path.normcase to normalize filenames
so they can be safely compared (see the canonic method in bdb.py).
I suggest you do the same in your editor; e.g:
Frederik thanks for the clarification.
I don't think your suggestion is a good one.
If a filename has uppercase characters in it,
the END-USER has done that for some kind of reason.
I as a programmer have to respect the arguments of the END-USER,
(whatever they are),
so I need to visualize the real filename.
Secondly thoughtless copying of current behavior, doesn't bring any
progress,
and I think that's one of the reasons why we're still burdened by
inventions done 20 years ago,
e.g. "do you want to save your changes ?".
cheers,
Stef
