Ah, yes, of course, I should've mentioned - Win7. I supposed there are
workarounds, but it's somewhat of an overkill to mess with settings for my
whole system to fix this one issue, isn't it? I thought they should
consider making the filenames case-insensitively unique, or I'll just
modify one of the filenames locally.
Tnx anyway.
