@commie That always drives me crazy as HO (hydrogen oxygen, or an alcohol functional group) is something different from Ho (Holmium)

@commie Fair, though it makes standardization difficult?

@Canageek sure, but like, i remember words a lot better than i remember capitalization. i know the folder is named, for example, "pictures", but my brain didn't record if it's "Pictures" or "pictures" or "PICTURES". and i can't think of a reason why i'd want folders named with the same letters with different capitalization at the same time.

@Canageek then they can use a case sensitive file system and the rest of us can use a case insensitive one

@commie which makes it a pain when transferring USB keys or what around. your preference not to have a feature should not make life harder for everyone else.

@Canageek ntfs is case preserving so it'll still handle multiple files named with the same letters with a different case if that's really a use case you need

@commie It is in chemistry pretty often, there are lots of terms that collide. It also happens a ton if you name files with WordsDilineiatedWithCaps (I'd rather file systems didn't support spaces, but whatever)

@Canageek considering that case insensitive filenames with spaces is a requirement i often have for my system, and exchanging files with chemists isn't, maybe i can have my system run my way and they can have their system run their way
