Reading the info --> facepalm!

"Is that drive formatted fat or ext? If it is formatted fat16 or fat32,
it will not see the names as different, since that file system does not
recognize such differences."

Shure this is right!

Would it be possible to fire/pop up a little notice about this behavior cause
- most of the LInux users do not use FAT16/FAT32 formated drives?
- would be also irritated about this...

Could be don if the drive is mounted/automounted in Gnome Commander?

For all others:
Just change the name a bit (by adding a "1" in first place or something) and THEN change the misspelling and delete also the added "1"...
