Hi there,

I upgraded to p4scc version 2003.2beta/53916 on Windows XP Pro SP1 and I started having problems under Visual C++ 6.0: it reports that the client cannot connect to the server.

Looking at the log file it is the 'p4 where' command that fails and the issue is the case sensitivity in the client specification, as p4scc (or Visual C++) passes all lower-case names to 'p4 where' (even if the path contains some upper-case letters).

For example with the following in the client specification

//depot/dev/products/Research/... //TROUT_main/products/Research/...

Any perforce connection from Visual C++ fails as 'p4 where' is case sensitive on the client specification part of a path (but not case sensitive in the file name part that follows). Changing the client specification to

//depot/dev/products/Research/... //TROUT_main/products/research/...

solves the problem as the view specification is all lower-case (except for the client name).

Is this a known issue (could not find anything about it)? Is there any solution or bug-fix planned? It worked with p4scc version r02.2.

Thanks in advance,

Diego
