Hi there,
First of all, sorry to hear that!
Because ext4 is a case-sensitive filesystem (by default) and does not inherently change the case of filenames. In fact, it ensures that filenames retain their case-sensitivity, i.e. File.txt
and file.txt
are considered completely different files.... So it's unlikely that ext4 itself is the cause of your filenames being converted to lowercase...
I'm at a loss as to how this could happen but lets clear some more related things, maybe we can find out what happened:
But even with all that, it is very unlikely that ALL files were changed to lowercase... However, I went ahead and checked Knullis Samba and mount settings, but I see nothing that would directly cause filenames to be converted to lowercase...
I'm not aware of any script in Knulli that would cause this... You mentioned you copied a port (these run scripts as part of their installation and some do rename things ... so maybe there is a way for that....)

But now that you mention it, it makes sense that one of those ports renamed everything. I believe that after trying the Tamagotchi, all my files were renamed. (at least this was when I realised it)
//edit: BTW, it was not possible to start the Need For Speed 2 SE port with Knulli. I checked the script and noticed that it renames some files to lowercase. Since I couldn't get the port to work, I suspect that this script might be causing the renaming issue. I also tried to install Need For Speed on Muos, and it worked fine. I'm not asking you to debug the PortMaster script for NFS, but if it indeed causes the renaming issue, it could potentially affect all Knulli users. You might find this information relevant.
Just in case you're interested, here's the script
#!/bin/bash
XDG_DATA_HOME=${XDG_DATA_HOME:-$HOME/.local/share}

controlfolder="/opt/system/Tools/PortMaster"

Issue description
After using the network transfer feature to copy my portmaster files to the ports folder, knulli suddenly changed all my filenames (not only the files I copied) to lowercase. Now I lost all my Favourites and also all my cover images do not match anymore with the rom names, so I don't see any cover art anymore. I don't know if network transfer caused this, or if there is some weird knulli behaviour.
I am using a one card setup.
Detailed reproduction steps
my assumption is that this renaming was caused by the ext4 file format.
