Is there a way to make Immich treat file names as case INsensitive?
Immich is running for me on a Linux host which means file.MOV and file.mov are different files, and so it lets them be like this without adding a
+1 to either.
However, I am trying to work with these files (copy/backup) on a Windows system and this is causing a lot of problems for me.
Is there a way to force Immich to add the +1 to filenames that overlap if they were case-insensitive?
If not, is there a way that I could manually ask Immich to rename a particular file and clean these up by hand? (There are only a few of them. It happens in rare circumstances due to things like people sharing photos with me.)
EDIT: I do have Storage Template enabled, so files are in folders by date. The situation is that sometimes two files have the same name, differing only by case (always the extension) both within the same month and even day due to overlapping file names between phones who shared pictures with me and that being apparently how Apple deals with this, whether on purpose or by accident.
Sorry if this is not where I should ask this. It isn't broken, I am just looking for "how to" do something that may or may not be possible. I didn't see another channel for "general inquiries".30 replies
