Dynamic Main Menu Icons Broken

[LJSSageUser]

I am having some difficulties getting my Dynamic Menus to work since I upgraded to Sage 6.5. I'm running the latest versions of SageMC (a not b) and java. I have used the same menu xml file for some time using menu icons from CenterSage MenuIcon folder.

For some reason, some of the icons won't load. I can reselect them in the "edit item" menu, save the xml, shut down Sage, reload, and nothing. The icons that still load are in the same folder (TV, Pictures), but the rest don't display. The menu items themselves work, but there's just a blank frame where the icon should be.
Any ideas?

Ok, since I solved it myself after endless tries, here's what the problem was for those who run into it. The alphanumeric keyboard in SageMC comes up in all caps. I entered the xml filename using the remote, which entered the name in CAPS. Apparently, Sage or SageMC or DMM is case-sensitive, so it couldn't find the file. When I entered the name from the keyboard in proper case, it loaded.

It would be nice to have that fixed.......

When you bring up the onscreen keyboard pressing the pause button cycles through all caps or small letters.

Thanks, that'll help, but I was also hoping that DMM (or Sage or SageMC, whatever parses the filename) would make the filenames case-insensitive so you don't have to cycle the case. Is that a Java issue?

And another anomaly for those who care.... if the sagemc_menu.xml file contains a path reference that includes such things as "Progra~" instead of "Program Files", i.e. full-qualified path names, it won't work.You'll need to go into the .xml files and hand correct the path 'cause the DMM applet in SageMC won't
