I am not sure I understand.

You can change Cover.xhtml to cover.xhtml but can not then change cover.xhtml back to Cover.xhtml?

Or do you mean you have two files named "Cover.xhtml" but in different folders?

On Windows you can not have two files in the same folder that are just variants in case. But renaming a single file should now work even if just a case variant.

So I am confused.

The problem is Linux will allow two case variants of the same name in the same folder, but this is a horrible idea for epubs to do since many e-reader filesystems use FAT and desktop users use MacOS and Windows which are case insensitive.

Our earlier code explicitly prevented that and still should even after this change.
