Lettercase issues in Windows

Open Speravir opened this issue 4 years ago • 0 comments

@MarcoFalke Wikimedia Commons is on a unixoid system, so a.ext, A.ext, a.EXT and A.EXT are four different files (not to think about potential mixed case file extensions). But in Windows only one of these can actually be saved in the same directory/folder, because letter case doesn’t matter for this OS. When downloading a full category this leaves to errors and there is no possibility to download the duplicates (for Windows) with IMKER.

This could be avoided if there would be a possibility to add a string to the filename in these cases. This optional setting should be active for Windows by default, if possible. String proposal:

name-edit-by-IMKER

Even shorter would be, of course, the simple edit, but the former makes the intentional edit visible.
