Suppose I have in the same folder files whose names differ only in case, e.g. 'D' and 'd'. On linux 7-Zip compresses such files without issues, but on windows it fails with

C:\temp\2>7z a q

7-Zip 22.01 (x64) : Copyright (c) 1999-2022 Igor Pavlov : 2022-07-15

Scanning the drive:
11 files, 0 bytes

Creating archive: q.7z

ERROR:
Duplicate filename on disk:
d
D

Even though Windows is case-insensitive by default, it supports case-sensitive filesystems too https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/case-sensitivity
