Can you help me with some searchable terms for learning about case folding? Is that something specific to games? Specific to disk formats?

- KyleGospo 3y agoIt's a file system feature, all it means to be case folding is that capital and non-capital letters are treated the same, as NTFS does. All Linux filesystems will by default allow "TEST" and "test" and "Test" to exist in the same folder, which no Windows application is ever intended to handle. Wine works around this by default.
- anticensor 3y agoNTFS is also case sensitive, however case folding is done at search time according to default windows settings. Windows apps are expected to handle case sensitivity gracefully in non-FAT filesystems.
