Under Link Daily, Assembly3 step file import (asm3CmdImport) does not care about the case sensitivity of the extension on the files it imports
However, under 0.21, it does care, and will only show .step files and not .STEP files, unless you disable the filtering so it can show all files
Regular FreeCAD import (file/Import) works properly, and uses the same open file dialog as Link Daily.
Obviously the open file dialogs are completely different, which I assume is the root source of the problem. I guess that Link Daily uses the built in Qt file picker while 0.21 uses the system's GTK3 one, that is known for being more picky about such things. This is a problem when interacting with other people, since people from Windows do not usually care about case sensitivity in file names. Files exported from FreeCAD have the step extension in lower case so it's not usually a problem.
