If I create a new category called PLaces, and then try to correct it to Places, I get an error message warning me that a category of this name already exists. Presumably this is because the editor isn't case-sensitive and thus sees the new string as identical to the old one.

The workaround is of course to rename the category to something else first, but it seems a bit of a kludge.

from what I understand, that's sort of right. before renaming the category name, the editor checks that the category name requested does not already exist. The problem, however, is that CHAR and VARCHAR columns in MySQL are not case sensitive by default, so it thinks "PLaces" is the same as "Places".

Go into mySQLMan and alter the column properties to make it "binary".

That "should" do it.

Limecat is not pleased.

Rename it to "Places 1"
then again to "Places"

That's better than altering the database structure.
