problem with syncing a file with same name

Hi,

 

im using btsync on my raspberry pi (raspbian, ext4) and on my pc.

I checked yesterday if the files and folders synced correctly and on my raspberry pi was some files with the same name but some with capitalised and not capitalised characters and thats the problem.

 

I sync my music archive raspberry pi <-> pc and sometimes i change the filename, sometimes i only capitalise some characters and btsync doesn't deletes the old one, it just syncs the new one.

The issue is that under Windows, a file named "TEST.txt" and a file named "test.txt" are considered the same - go on, try creating both in the same folder - Windows won't let you!

 

Therefore, the issue you're experiencing is not actually related to Sync - remember, Sync is cross-platform, so whilst other operating systems may allow "TEST.txt" and "test.txt" to co-exist, not all operating systems do!
