This seems to be a BUG and a rare circumstance. We use a network NAS drive to hold all our files (including Lightburn libraries) to use between computers. Lightburn on different computers targets these folders. My wife happen to rename our “engraving” folder to “ENGRAVING” for asthetics. Our NAS drive is plugged into a Linksys router (which I am confident uses Linux type OS). This caused the old time issue of how Windows is case insensitive while Linux is case sensitive. All the Lightburn library targets were showing up and not found/missing. The bug is when I tried to unlink them and remap them, upon the next Lightburn launch, they showed up missing again, because there were never cleared. To fix the actual Bug, a rename back to the original “Engraving” folder name would work, but also manually carefully doing a search and replace on the prefs.ini file for “Engraving” to “ENGRAVING” ultimately fixed it to keep the new folder name. Lightburn does not handle the Linux folder case sensitivity well. It gets confused and it won’t let you unlink and relink properly.
It is correctly observed and a known problem, unfortunately, it applies to network drives (online) in particular.
You type in the paths. If you type Linux case, It should work whether Lightburn is running in Linux or Windows.
If you are not running Lightburn under Linux, then something else is going on here.
Router OS is not relevant. It just passes whatever you feed it.
You did not mention what NAS box you are using. My box is a Synology and I suspect my tLink router also runs a Linux core. I have never had a letter case issue with filenames.
