Yup, it's a problem that only occurs on FAT formatted drives, as they are case preserving but not case sensitive. The file browser compares the name you're changing the file to all the names of the files in the folder to make sure you aren't duplicating the name. Since it is not case sensitive, it counts the former name of the file as the same as the current name, and claims you're duplicating the name.
It seems like it should be an easy fix. -- Renaming files (changing capitalization) on external USB fat32 drives not allowed https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/231864 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
