[BUG] Changing capitalization of files causes Plex to detect as Recently Added.

I seem to be encountering an issue where Plex is re-detecting files as Recently Added if I just change the capitalization of the letters within the file name.

I Tweeted about it on the Plex Twitter account. Here’s a video showing this issue taking place. https://twitter.com/zerauskire/status/806296708858675205

Server details:
Windows 10 Pro 64-Bit - Version 1607 (OS Build 14393.477)
Plex Server Version 1.3.1.3102 (Update Channel = Plex Pass)
Media Storage: 3Tb WD Passport USB 3.0 & Seagate 4Tb USB 3.0

A video is meaningless.

Logfiles provide what’s needed. Would you recreate, gather logs (settings - server - help - download logs) and attach the zip file here?

WTF are you talking about? I did attach the log files.

Working with employees and other ninjas, there appears to be a regression on OS X and Windows. Linux is not effected.

The employees filed the bug report and passed it up to the devs

Getting back to you.

Bug fixed.

Awesome. Thanks for the update!

Why is this a bug? The file changes when the name changes. Or am I wrong? Anyway, I love the Grinch. :slight_smile:

Some OS’s have ‘case observing’ but ‘case-insensitive’ behavior. ( you can open the file regardless of capitalization )
Changing the case would actually make it look like a new file because the date/time stamp was different.

This is true on especially true on Linux which is fully case sensitive.
