Oh jeez, I hadn’t even thought about capitalisation in the file extension. That would be especially confusing if extensions are hidden- the user would be presented with two files that look exactly the same.

But do I type ‘ImportantFile’, or ‘importantfile’?

As I understand it, if I searched for either of these strings in a case sensitive file system, I would not find a file called ‘IMPORTANTFILE’.

At best, a case sensitive file system makes naming conventions more complex. At worst , it obfuscates files. I just can’t imagine a scenario where it would be helpful. Do you really see a need to have a file called ‘aaaAaa’ and a totally separate one called ‘aaAaaa’?

So if someone tells me to look for a file amongst a long list, I need to look in two different areas- the uppercase and lowercase areas.

I get why it’s more technically correct to differentiate, but from the perspective of a human user, it’s a pain in the ass.

Ascending order implies going from low to high

If I have four files, a.txt, A.txt, b.txt, and B.txt, in what order do they appear when I sort alphabetically?

edit: I don’t understand why this was downvoted?
