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.

The search string is case insensitive. The file name isnt.

So you will find all of them.

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.

if you look for a file you type the first letters for the file explorer to jump to the matching name. Retype to jump to the next fitting entry. If you don’t know about this, you can put your string in the search field. If you don’t know about this, you can sort by metadata like file size or date of last change.

It is a non problem.

Also most workplaces tend to develop a file naming convention, either explicitly or implicitly.

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.

Dry heat and dry cold are much better to deal with than wet heat and cold.

Russians who strive in -30°C get cold in the 0-5°C wet mist that is much of Central Europe during winter.

Peak intellect to do a bomb threat workshop with real explosives inside a building.

“Enlightened” atheist centrists are often pretty similar to what they claim to be smarter about than people who follow religion and ideology.

And thinking one is “immune” because of their ability to “think critically” is a very solid step to vulnerability. You’ll finde the same wordings for Q-Anon and other conspiracy theorists referring to themselves.
