Okay. I have fired up my VRPC running 6.20 and I can replicate your
issue. I cannot replicated on my A9home running 4.42 due to not having
the same options.
Issue on RO6 would appear to be due to the "Object name display" setting
from within Configure-Pinboard-Interface. Under "Object name display"
there a setting: "Show all CAPS in lower case". When ticked this shows
the non numeric portion of the filename that are all in capitals as lower
case: -
BP2602 = bp2602
BPx2602 = BPx2602 (this displays correctly because the non
numeric part of the filename is is mixture of cases and not all
uppercase
BP6202z = BP6202z (works for same reason as above)
Hope this helps :)
