Hi,

is there any chance of adding a switch in Gephi to make it treat node names/IDs/labels as case-sensitive (or not) ?

Currently, names are case-sensitive by default - 'NodeX' is seen as different from 'nodex'. In many cases, this is undesirable: in working with my Twitter datasets, for example, I'm often dealing with data where various capitalisations of usernames are present (and used interchangeably).

Switching Gephi to be case-insensitive would be especially useful for the node/edge import functions in the Data Laboratory, to avoid creating additional nodes when layering multiple datasets with different capitalisations on top of one another.

Thanks,
