Rename issue when target file name is the same as source file name, with different capitalization #35

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Download any movie file, a simple example: "bruno (2009).avi"
2. Try to rename it to "Bruno (2009).avi" (note the capitalization)
3. Observe rename error

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
File is renamed when the only difference is uppercase/lowercase.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Win7 x64, mediarenamer_2.0.1

Please provide any additional information below.
This is not necessarily a bug in mediarenamer, but more a bug in the NTFS
filesystem driver that I believe mediarenamer should account for.
mediarenamer will not be able to successfully capitalize or rename a movie
file unless it first renames the source file to a temporary name, and then
in turn renames the temporary filename to the target filename.

Hope this information helps, don't hesitate to contact me if you have any
questions!
