Implementing case-insensitivity in a file picker or something is OK, but doing that throughout your app's runtime is insane since you'd have to hook every file open and then list the directory, whereas in a file picker you're probably listing the directory anyways.
- cesarb 2y agoThe file picker is precisely where case-insensitivity should be done; the rest of the application should already have the correct file name.
- cryptonector 2y agoThough you best not have a million files in that directory...
