FTF detection case sensitive

Question

I recently got a FTF (GLGB81AJ) and in my log tagged it as such, however when looking today I noticed that it wasn't appearing on the FTF list. I assume this is because my phone autocorrected the tag to be (Ftf) and that project gc is doing case sensitive matching? I've since updated the log entry to make it (FTF) so hopefully this will be detected at some point but I would have thought the check should be case insensitive?

Answer 1

First off, the tags listed in the FAQ, are only some of those that we support. Can be good to know.

Also, the answer to the question is both yes and no. Some tags are case sensitive, some are not. The (FTF) for example, is case sensititive, while {*FTF*} is not (the most common one in Sweden). {FTF} and [FTF] are not case sensitive either. Generally, those that has less likelihood to be written in a non ftf log aren't case sensitive.

Answer 2

I am not sure about the case sensitive because I have not run into that issue.  It does show in the examples on the FAQ page that they are all capitalized so I would assume that that is the requirement.  I have been tagging them in my posts but also created a FTF bookmark list to ensure that all of them are being captured.

I also use an FTF bookmark list, this allows to keep track independently of PGC - never rely on one tool only... And in the meantime detection for PGC is also very reliable.
