The issue with case sensitivity for file names is an interesting problem, but my original issue didn't have anything to do with the case of file names. I just waned to be able to double-click an .ijs file in the JQt editor nav pane to open a file. This scheme doesn't work for ANY .ijs file names, regardless of case. This scheme works fine for .ijs files on a local drive, and doesn't work for files on remote derives like a Google File Stream drive. I can enter the G: file path in the JQt path field and SEE the list of .ijs files on my remote drive, but double-clicking the .ijs file icon will not load the file.
I discovered a convoluted workaround for this problem by selecting File > Open from the JQt editor menu instead of using the JQt editor nav pane., This results in the launching of a Windows Explorer window. Then I can enter the G: file path in the Explorer's path field, or navigate to the file/folder I want. Finally, I can double-click on the file, OR highlight it and click the Open button, to load the file. This tells me that there is just something wrong with the file access protocol in the JQt editor, not anything to do with the case of file names.
