Comment 4 for bug 1172672

Isn't it easy just to disable eeschema to upper case all the letters when placing new component? I thought it was.

I've just checked that this happens only in advanced netlist format, the legacy works well because the footprint filters are identified for a specific part reference, not part name as the advanced format does.

Also just checked that Eechema as far as I've used Kicad (since rev 3044) has been converting part names to all mayus.

Btw, I also prefer case sensitive, but will be using legacy format for now because I have lots of part names with minuscule letters and really like the footprint filtering option.
