            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal

Case-sensetivity creates many problems on wineprefixes.

Linux 5.2 can create case-insensetive empty folders with flag +F

Please add this option to staging

I should use "wine explorer" every time, when i want to merge "FolderName" with
"foldername".

When I using regular linux file manager copying "FolderName" with "foldername"
creates two different folders.

So if wine-staging will create prefixes with +F - this problem completely gone.

Why are you requesting this feature for Staging specifically?

Because Staging is a bleeding-edge patchset with bunch of fixes.

Regular apstream wine more conservative.

Yeah, that's not really how it works.

I'm moving this to the Wine product. If and when the anticipated patches land
in the Linux kernel, and if and when someone does write patches in Wine to take
advantage of them, it might land in Staging first, or it might go directly
upstream, depending on the disposition of the author and of the Wine
maintainers.

I'll leave the arguments about the ideal arrangement of Staging to someone
else.

Yeah, because wine is not windows. It works when you do it properly with native
tools.

I honestly fail to see how this would help a lot, AFAIK the change only is for
ext4, and only for very recent linux kernels. Wouldn't this just make wine
complexer while adding confusion for endusers?

60 lines in loader code will hurt anyone?.. - NO.

I'll implement this feature, which is also nice for performance reasons (the
case-insensitive lookup wine does is very slow since it has to enumerate). I
sent patches to the mailing list for review, though I'm sure they might need
changes :-)

BTW a "somewhat" related bug is: https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=46203

But that one needs a different fix to be use-able even on dirs without this
attr (unfortunately my prior patch for it wasn't reviewed yet).
