Hi, it is my main filesystem partition, which is ext3. ext3 does of course permit case-sensitive renaming. It is possible on the console to type: > ls Music > mv Music music > ls music
The problem is not that the filesystem does not permit the renaming. The problem seems to be that nautilus does not permit renaming (eg) 'Music' to 'music' because it thinks that there is already a file/folder present with the new name of 'music'. This is true inasmuch as the file/folder being renamed is called 'Music' (which is the same but for the case). It seems to me that code in nautilus is picking up the file-being-renamed as a file-which-has-the-same-name-preventing-renaming. I suppose that the code fix for this would be, once the name conflict is found, to check if the conflicting file is actually the same as the file-being-renamed. (same inode?). This should allow in-place renaming of files to strings which are (case-insensitive) the same.
