Friends,
I agree that if the only goal of Sigil is to produce a clean Epub, then there is no need to change the case of the images folder. However, as a person who has spent more than 20 years teaching courses in HTML and CSS, I think it is better to follow the normal practice on the Internet of using lower case letters for folders dealing with images. I may be the first person to bring this topic up. But it does not make it any less important of a topic. When one is dealing with a 400 page book with hundreds of images in dozens of folders, it is important to have a well organized images folder structure. Sigil can and should honor a well organized folder structure just as it already honors a well organized series of headings. Replacing the existing images folder structure with one that does not work on common websites is not a good practice any more than it would be to replace the heading structure of an HTML document.

As for type of computers, I use Linux but that should have no bearing on the images file naming in Sigil.

Finally, as for Calibre, it unfortunately trashes both the CSS and HTML creating dozens of un-necessary and poorly named CSS classes. For years, I have asked my students to write clean code. What I like about Sigil is the HTML and CSS are much better than Calibre.

Again, I do have several options to work around this problem and someday when I get the time, I will go through the million lines of code, find where the error was made and offer a fix for it. I realize that most of you have other priorities. So please do not worry too much about it. Sigil is an excellent tool if the only goal is creating an Epub and I really appreciate it for that purpose.
Regards,
David
