I don't like capital letters in filenames.

Fencer: Any particular reason? Most applications are case-insensitive with respect to filenames. Although I guess server software is an exception, since I have to be careful about caps in the names of files I upload to my site.

alanback: "Most applications"? I don't know any application that is case-insensitive with respect to filenames. I know *filesystems* that are, but not all file systems are case insenstive. Just image if you have files "Foo" and "foo", and your case insenstive application is told to do something with file "fOO". Which one will it take? "Foo"? "foo"? or will it create "f00"?

AbigailII: Well, DOS is case insensitive, as is Windows with respect to filenames. Obviously a case insensitive system would not permit you to create two different files named Foo and foo in the first place.

Subject: Re:

alanback: true .. linux is casesensitive .. so you can have those 2 files there .. when you then download them to a windows system the second file will overwrite the first one
