sometimes when extracting archives through total commander directly to novell network drive, a lot of file names and/or directory names are set to uppercase letters:
arch.zip/folder1/file1.txt > X:\target\FOLDER1\FILE1.TXT
arch.zip/folder1/file2.txt > X:\target\FOLDER1\FILE2.TXT
arch.zip/folder1/file3.txt > X:\target\FOLDER1\FILE3.TXT
arch.zip/folder2/file1.txt > X:\target\folder2\file1.TXT
arch.zip/folder2/file2.txt > X:\target\folder2\FILE2.TXT
arch.zip/folder2/file3.txt > X:\target\folder2\FILE3.TXT
also renaming of files with multi rename tool doesn't always set the filenames correctly. if i set to "all lowercase" some files are renamed, but not all... 2 times i got a blue screen when i tried to rename a lot of files.
extracting to local drive and moving them to novell drive in second step seems to work properly...
windows xp professional sp3
novell client version: 4.91.5.20080922
total commander 7.55a
this is problematic in combination with unix systems. when you copy the files after extracting to unix scripts don't work because of the case sensitivity of unix...
is seems that the problem doesn't exist all the time. maybe it's a result of some other operation like copying, moving, comparing, viewing ... working the whole day...
does somebody else have this problem? would be nice to get it reproducable
filenames all UPPERCASE

The unpacking problem isn't currently known. Maybe there were files with the previous name in that directory?
The rename problem is known: Netware is case-insensitive and therefore ignores the rename request. You can try to rename the files in two steps with multi-rename tool e.g.
[L][N]$
in first step (append character so name is different), and
[N1--2]
in second step to get rid of the extra character.

thank you!
no, the directories were empty.
i know the possibility of renaming in 2 steps with additional characters.
the interesting thing is, that some files ARE renamed, but not all. so it seems the rename command isn't completely ignored...
but don't mind about renaming. i only thought that there meight be some coherency...
today i didn't have this problem. i tried a lot of different archives of different types, and different target directories... didn't happen.
thats the bad thing about this. difficult to reproduce, but when you got it, it's "working" all the time. i will keep an eye on this. if i can find out something additional, i will tell you.
