iPad problems loading plugins

[TriOpticon]

I am loading the Rage plugin
http://www.werepenguin.com/rage/lackey/high/updatelist.txt

It downloads the files.  However, when I browse to select a plugin to load I have two entries:
Rage (uppercase R)
rage (lowercase r)


Selecting the Rage one, I am not allowed to choose it but the rage one allows me to choose it.  However, selecting it causes nothing to load and if I had a plugin already loaded, it seems to be unloaded as there i can no,longer choose the Game or Deck Editor tabs.

The same happens with Smash Up
http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/250886096/lackeyccg/SmashUp/updatelist.txt

Except it is SmashUp and Smashup.

Any ideas if this is plugin related or iPad bugs???

the plugin defines the name of the plugin as "Rage" but it lists folders named "rage" which is a mistake with the plugin. Capital or not is fine as long as you are consistent. ISO suggest lowercase though. The broken plugin wouldn't load, but I didn't experience a crash.

The same mistake is in the smash up plugin. It needs to be consistently named or it won't work.

But as an iPad user, there is nothing I can do, correct?  Couldn't the app just make them be the same instead of differentiating between upper and lower case?  I assume this works fine on a Windows desktop since Windows does not consider Rage and rage as 2 different strings?

Some operating systems are case sensitive. It's a mistake with the plugin and not a bug with lackey. The iPad (in general, not just with lackey) doesn't let you (easily at least) mess around with the files and folders. You could fix it manually on the desktop version, but the real problem is it's a mistake with the plugin. I could force it to be case insensitive, but that might introduce issues with other plugins that depended on the case differentiation. I'm working on a new version of lackey with many fixes and improvements and I'll consider this as a possible change.
