Hi.

In the fileExplorer, if you change a filename but only change the case of the name eg:
myfile.txt
To
MYFILE.txt

then the changes are not saved as it thinks the file already exists (it does in essence as I know it is trying to perform a move on the file, not a rename).

Is there a way to allow this so that if a file is uploaded with a filename that has the wrong case it can be changed?

Hello James,

The best way to do this is to override the FileBrowserContentProvider's MoveFile method.
In your case I recommend you to subclass the default provider which ships with RdFileExplorer - Telerik.Web.UI.Widgets.FileSystemContentProvider. Then you need to override these methods:
  • GetFileMethod - this method is called in order to determine whether a file exists or not. If the method returns null, this means that the file does not exists
  • MoveFile method - in order to achieve the desired result

Then you can set the new provider to the RadFileExplorer control.
