    I work with a lot of users and a lot of files in my job.

    I don’t remember a single case, where someone had an issue because of upper- or lowercase confusions.

      Most of my frustration comes from combining cases insensitive folders/files with git and then running my code on another machine. If you aren’t coding where you have hundreds of files that import other files, I could see this being a non issues.

      On a Linux environment? Mind sharing the usage area?

        Mostly Windows, and construction industry. So projects generate anywhere from a few hundred to up to a hundred thousand files.

        Everyone has their own filesystem, and then you often have one formal and multiple informal exchange platforms. You still have people throwing around stuff in E-Mails too.

        It is a mess. But in this mess i didn’t come acrosse people complaining they couldnt find a file because of the letters case yet.

        I see that it could be different for programmers, but i dont see that apples solution of treating upper and lowercase as identical name is the solution there, rather than working with explicit file naming conventions in the program.

          Windows is / Windows filesystems are case insensitive too.

            Hmm you’re right. I didnt notice so far, nor was it brought up as an issue.

            You can activate case sensitivity since Win 10 or so.
