Yes, I moved from insensitive to sensitive. However, there was only one folderol the source, and only one folder on the destination until Calibre got confused. In many cases Calibre lost the folder information because it was looking for the wrong case in the path. This is not 'no trouble', especially when calibre then went and created a new directory with no files in it.

Calibre has a serial number it embeds in the name of each directory (####), it should look for that if it has trouble finding a folder instead of simply assuming it has the case right.

And there is no way to FIX this other than going through manually and figuring out what case Calibre THINKS the folder and files should have, one by one.

Tedious on over 900 books and no idea how many are 'wrong'.
