Windows 10 case sensitivity enabled directories and torrents with "duplicate" files

Open arandomusertoo opened this issue 2 years ago • 2 comments

So I have a torrent containing several "duplicate" files like:

file 1.txt File 1.txt

On windows 10, I've enabled case sensitivity (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/case-sensitivity) on all the folders BiglyBT uses.

However, BiglyBT seem to ignore the case sensitivity support and continues to error out with the "File occurs more than once in download" message.

Realistically, assuming that the directories used by BiglyBT support case sensitivity, it should allow the torrent to start downloading after the allocation process.

There is an old assumption baked into the code that Windows doesn't support case-sensitive file systems. I suppose I can remove this, try the next beta (B20)

All good, no rush on my part or anything, just letting you know.
