Even though you are using a click to select a name the underlying code must turn that into a string of characters and this is where the special processing is required. A name to a computer is a word and two words are two names. Even people sometimes have problems in parsing information where two names are to be treated as one name (word).

gottcha is the file system on the PEz is case sensitive because it is running under Linux.
Windows is Case insensitive.
my_book, My_book and My_Book are the same file in Windows.
They are 3 DIFFERENT files to Linux.
Note: that you can not always easily change the case of a file name in Windows, since they are considered the same.
The trick I use is to "walk" the file name to what I want in a few steps
To rename
my_book to
My_Book
Add a nonsense (legal) character to the end (The end, prevents file list sort motion)
Rename my_book ->
my_book1 (save/enter)
Rename my_book1 ->
My_Book (save/enter)
The extra/different character forces the rename to "take" in step 1
Step 2 just puts it back
close to what it was.
