Compare directories with respecting of file name case
So I have an example.txt file on one side and EXAMPLE.txt on the other and Totalcmd doesn't see them as something different, but if the name was something else entirely like example1.txt and example2.txt it correctly detects a difference. How can I force to check name case also?
Re: Compare directories with respecting of file name case
You are on Windows and therefore there is no case sensitive file system by default.Freodon wrote: ↑2018-10-18, 09:32 UTC So I have an example.txt file on one side and EXAMPLE.txt on the other and Totalcmd doesn't see them as something different, but if the name was something else entirely like example1.txt and example2.txt it correctly detects a difference.

There is no way in TC to do that, and it wouldn't even make a lot of sense because Windows is not case-sensitive.

Re: Compare directories with respecting of file name case
So how is it possible for me to create different-case files that keep the case even when transferred to another Windows device?
Re: Compare directories with respecting of file name case
Windows keeps the file name case, but it doesn't differentiate between them, meaning one can't create files that are only different in file name case. Example: AAA.txt and aaa.txt are the same file for Windows programs. When copying AAA.txt to another system where aaa.txt already exists, you're asked to confirm overwriting the existing file. If the file aaa.txt doesn't exist, you'll get a file AAA.txt.

Re: Compare directories with respecting of file name case
So your filenames differ in the case?
In that case* you could use TC's sync tools and a content plugin: NameCompare
Use the field [=namecompare.Mark as different]
But of course this will only work for this special case: having filenames differing in case in each side.
* no pun intended
