Duplicate "names" in templatedata

ReggieRWalker

Env: TS 6.1/sp1, Win2K

Within the templatedata directory, I have sub directories (i.e. templatedata/personal/category/data/checking) but I am unable to create a sub directory that could have the same name as an existing file (i.e. DCR Name - templatedata/personal/category/data/checking; SUB DIR- templatedata/personal/category/data/checking). When I try it manually, I get the error "A file or folder checking already exists."

Aside from the obvious reasons, I could understand TS having an issue if a directory of that name already exists. Is it a bug that I can create a directory though? There is an obvious difference between a file and a directory.

Thoughts and/or suggestions welcome.

TIA

Any given directory, on any existing OS, cannot have a file *and* a directory with the same name in it.

Unix will allow you to use upper/lower case letters to differentiate such entries (e.g. "subdir", "Subdir", SubDir", "SUBDIR") because it is case-sensitive.
Windows will not allow that because it is case-insensitive

Given all of the above - I don't understand your question (nor why you have an extra directory level between templatedata and category)
