Folder/Directory Names capitalized

hstoellinger · 08-17-2017, 01:28 AM

Hello,
Can somebody tell me why the first letter of directory names gets capitalized sometimes? My system is Linux Mint 18.2, but the same happens also on Debian.
Thanks for any ideas

I think you need to provide more info, like WHAT folder/directory??

Generally it will be the naming convention that someone has chosen.

Do you mean this happens:

Code:

> mkdir folder1 folder2 folder3
> ls
Folder1 Folder2 Folder3

Yes! Where do I set the naming definitions as mentioned by one reply?

I may have not been clear enough. I am saying that a distribution or program has been designed in such a way that the creators decided that is how they wanted to name files/folders.

Maybe if you were a little clearer about what folders you are referring to and what process you are submitting that creates the folders?

DEs create many capitalized directory names.
