No, not FFS but Windows-OS regards file/folder names with the same contents and the same name (but different casing) as the same. E.g. 2 text files Ab.txt and aB.txt having same context really are the same.

FFS gives warning comparing 2 files with same name
Hi,
when I run FFS on Windows, FFS warns that a file abc.txt compared with ABC.txt is equal, but the casing is different.
Since (in Windows) abc.txt and ABC.txt are considered equal, I'd like very much to have an option to ignore case in file or folder names.
Is there a way to achieve this?

Thx!

How to exclude files beginning with a dot (OneDrive)?
Hi, OneDrive appears to have a special file named (on my PC) .849C9593-D756-4E56-8D6E-42412F2A707B which is a (H) hidden and a (S) system file in Windows.
FreeFileSync pops-up on this file because it cannot copy it.
So, I'd like to exclude it.
Given the syntax for excludes I was not able to do it ...
