P: (Windows) Search in folders in case sensitive for letters with accent

  • March 11, 2024

When searching for specific folders in the folder section of the Library module, the search engine is generally case insensitive, except when using letters with accents.

Latest version of LRC used (13.2).

Steps to reproduce:

1. Having a folder named "Saint-Étienne" (capital E with accent)

2. Search for "étienne"

3. No result found

4. Search for "Étienne"

5. Results found

    I observe the same misbehavior on my LR 13.2 / Windows 11:

     

     

    But it works correctly on my LR 13.2 / Mac OS 14.2.1.

    @Rikk Flohr: Photography, please consider moving to Bugs -- I see the same symptoms.

     

    Note there was a possibly related bug in LR 11.3.1 (fixed) where searching for letters with diacritical marks always failed:
