This is the reason I suggested to always use HB_FILEMATCH() when doing any comparison. So if you lookup and change all filename comparisons (except where you compare types by looking at the extension only), you can safely remove all lowercasing and close the whole issue. If you start it one-by-one per report, chances are good the code will never be right.
