BTW The filename not changing case is a Windows/DOS thing... case insensitive file names. (but you are not supposed to be peeking under the skirts anyhow )

I only peeked under the skirts whenI saw the book had the old upper case name in my ereader and I used the calibre function(s) provided to do it.
It may be a Dos/Windows function but why does Dos/Windows(if that is the case) rename the file name correctly when I type it in in either the edit metadata or GUI? I can't see Windows/DOS differentiating or even being aware. In my experience usually a variable is set (often called dirty) which tells the main program that a change has been made.
I admire Calibre and it's Developer and his co-developers and supporters(of which I am one) etc, but find a bit of disparity between the open source and multi function/open mindset attitude and the blackbox/condescending/don't peek approach.
It is like giving a chainsaw operator a fork and telling them not to use it in case they stab themselves in the chin. Why provide the functionality and belittle those who use it.
Calibre users are in one way a small community and discouraging learning an experimentation may make it easier for those who see the same old questions but does not necessarily return long term benefits and growth.
Not meaning to be offensive here and hopefully I wasn't
