"create file xxx" text is always lowercase in zedd, regardless of actual filename capitalization #512

When I use the top navigation bar to create a new file, the dropdown confirmation is always in lowercase, although the entered filename is uppercase and the file created is uppercase. Typing in filename: screenshot 2015-02-24 at 12 40 56 pm Actual file edited: screenshot 2015-02-24 at 12 41 51 pm

This seems like unexpected behavior, because it may lead a user to assume that their new file has a different name from what was typed in.

My specific conditions:

I was creating this file on a mac, using zedd on a chromebook. The mac has a case-insensitive HFS file system. This means that ./README.md and ./readme.md are both valid names for the same file, whose name can be any upper or lower-case combination of that string.
