On case-sensitive file systems (e.g. most *nix OS file systems), ExitDoor.zip, EXITDOOR.ZIP and exitdoor.zip are 3 different files. So showing them as all having the same name would be... wrong.

On Windows, NTFS and FAT32 anyway, they are case-presevering (but not case-sensitive) filenames, so while you couldn't have all 3 those files in the same directory, it is still in fact, *the* filename.

With v3.19 one can (and Nightfox has demonstrated) create their own file listing interface in JS and in such a script, you could display the filenames however you like (all CAPS, all lowercase, etc.), but as a user, I'd prefer to see the original/proper file case.
