I seem to recall encountering this problem in Jaguar or Tiger, so it's

It only occurs in situations where the Finder compares names for
_equality_
Yes, it's as if the comparison is done like this:
ignoring case considering numeric strings "Test_00001.txt" = "Test_01.txt" --> true end considering end ignoring
Which is not how the Finder normally compares names. so one of the fastest ways round it (when using the Finder)
Oxymoron? ;-) |
