App is not case-sensitive in names

[chromer030]

If we try to rename test to Test, it fails!

With error: Already Exist. Choose another name.

test and Test are two different names, they are not same.

App should be case-sensitive.

It is not possible to fix this issue due to android system restrictions when using document storage.

Workaround: Change filename to something else and then the desired name.
