save as mesh filename not case sensitive

I am on a Mac. So put your Mac os hats on.  My design is a stamp used to stamp leather.  The filename I use has the character as part of the name.  Arial-12-ch-a, Arial-12-ch-A, Arial-12-ch-b, Arial-12-ch-B for example.  If either the uppercase or lowercase filename exists in the os, when I try to save the other, I receive a message that it already exists. Do you want to overwrite?  It doesn't exist; it's the character file for the other case.  Please see the picture attached.

Hi @chip.cox 


My suggestion, to avoid this issue, would be that you use a naming convention that ensures the files are unique, such as "Arial-12-ch-a_lowercase" or "Arial-12-ch-a_l" and "Arial-12-ch-A_uppercase" or "Arial-12-ch-A_u".

 

It is recommended to be consistent and use a naming convention that works best for you and your workflow. Overall, it is important to be mindful of the naming conventions you use when saving files to ensure they are unique and easily identifiable.
