Hi

I don't think it is the exact same problem. In my case, the path to the 
system installed 3D models is ok, but it that folder the path point to, 
there are some folders with models inside, and it's only those 
subfolders that are case-sensitive. Well case-sensitive is not the right 
term, because even if the path defined in the module properties is ok, 
it won't show up if there is one uppercase letter at the beginning of 
the folder name.

And also what about the path to the 3D models directory that cannot be 
edited ? Is there a place where we can edit it ?

The version I use now is :

Version: (2014-07-30 BZR 5036)-product Release build
wxWidgets: Version 2.8.12 (release,Unicode,compiler with C++ ABI 
1002,GCC 4.8.1,wx containers,compatible with 2.6)
Platform: Linux 3.11.0-22-generic i686, 32 bit, Little endian, wxGTK
Boost version: 1.54.0
         USE_WX_GRAPHICS_CONTEXT=OFF
         USE_WX_OVERLAY=OFF
         KICAD_SCRIPTING=OFF
         KICAD_SCRIPTING_MODULES=OFF
         KICAD_SCRIPTING_WXPYTHON=OFF
         USE_FP_LIB_TABLE=HARD_CODED_ON
         BUILD_GITHUB_PLUGIN=ON

but I got the problem with all the previous versions I tested.

Well, it's 4 days old now, but was the latest when I started writing the 
first mail :)
I'm upgrading now.

regards,

yann
