If a file is sent in Talk where the filename already exists, a "(1)" is appended to the filename.
But this logic requires that the upper and lower case is identical.

So it is possible that in the Talk folder there is a file "1.jpg" as well as a "1.JPG".

With Linux based systems this is no problem. On Windows systems, however, I have to regularly clean up the Talk folder for all users so that the NextCloud desktop client no longer issues error messages because of this.

It would therefore be useful if it would take into account the WIndows machines here and also add a (1) to the file name if the files differ in case.

Steps to reproduce

1. Send a File with filename "1.jpg"
2. Send another File with filename "1.JPG"
3. Wait until the Windows desktop client tries to synchronize the Talk folder - which will throw an error message.

Expected behaviour

The second sent file should be saved in Talk folder as "1 (1).JPG", because it already has a file with identical filename (for windows systems)

Actual behaviour

The second sent file will be saved as "1.JPG", because it theoreticaly has an other filename as the first file - but it will result in a sync error on Windows Desktop Clients.

While this is fully correct and I understand the trouble, it's outside of the scope of Nextcloud Talk.
The files app itself allows creating such files next to each other without adding the (1) or showing a conflict or anything.

Hi, please update to 24.0.9 or better 25.0.3 and report back if it fixes the issue. Thank you!

My goal is to add a label like e.g. 25-feedback to this ticket of an up-to-date major Nextcloud version where the bug could be reproduced. However this is not going to work without your help. So thanks for all your effort!

If you don't manage to reproduce the issue in time and the issue gets closed but you can reproduce the issue afterwards, feel free to create a new bug report with up-to-date information by following this link: https://github.com/nextcloud/server/issues/new?assignees=&labels=bug%2C0.+Needs+triage&template=BUG_REPORT.yml&title=%5BBug%5D%3A+
