Capitalized folder names in Linux LO

users
#1

Hello,
I have been using LO (and before that OO and StarOffice!) for years and am a very satisfied "customer".
I do have one question now: When I open files or look at directories from a terminal (eg. Konsole under
KDE) I see that some directory names are listed twice - once with the small first letter I had defined them
with (using "camel" notation in general!) and once with that first letter capitalised. They both always point
to the same content. I experience this with LO running under Debian or Mint (don't know the situation
under Windows).
Has anybody else experienced this "weird" behaviour?

Windows seem not to care if the letter is an uppercase or a lowercase one, they are the same thing. Linux treats the letters as different ones since their ASCII number are different.

I am wondering if there is some setting that creates these directories that way. I use Caja for my default folder viewing and creation package. I use the MATE terminal package instead of Konsole.

Since I do not use KDE, except if they have a package I install that is better than MATE, so it may be some type of compatibility setting.

Didn't you just say that you used a terminal?

I don't know, I'm still not sure what you mean. Do you mean that if you
look at directories and files created by LibreOffice, they appear with two
different upper-/lower case variations? Otherwise I can't for my life see
what LibreOffice has to do with this…

By the way, I have LibreOffice 5.2.7.2 and an old Ubuntu (14.04) and I
don't know what you're talking about, so I think I haven't seen it. I use
the terminal a lot (not Konsole, though) and I have never seen any of my
files more than once in the same directory.

Kind regards
