And this would also be stupid: only the WIN32 subsystem
Which is the subsystem LibreOffice runs in, so what is your point?
is case-insensitive
by default on Windows NT systems. And it can be set to be case-sensitive
by toggling a single registry value.
Surely you are not suggesting we should potentially break existing functionality for the majority
of Windows users, just to cater for a handful of people who intentionally break their systems just
because they can?
I mean, if we have code in there that assumes NTFS (and SMB) volumes are case insensitive (at least
when accessed from Windows), we should definitely keep it that way, even if somebody might have
toggled a registry value to change it. If somebody does that, they deserve what they get.
