Playlist on Steam Deck picky with upper- and lowercase letter differences with boxarts and screenshots about retroarch HOT 4 CLOSED

Well, I sometimes used thumbnail repos, and sometimes not. The thumbnails that I named are the ones with inconsistencies I guess.

This explains a lot. I didn't know that the file systems themselves was guilty for the case sensitivity in RetroArch, thus not an issue with RetroArch itself. I guess that I just need to do a little bit of cleanup manually to keep the names consistent then.

Feel free to close this issue, well at least if there's no simple workaround codewise for RetroArch to make it ignore case sensitivity.

Windows file system is case insensitive (unless configured otherwise), Android would be case sensitive, but the storage often has FAT32 file system which is again case insensitive. On case sensitive file systems, this is normal and expected.

Having said that, this does not help much with the user experience. Are there any specific thumbnails where you encounter such problems? The database naming should be mostly consistent in this respect, thumbnail repos may have some variation, but it will be probably better to fix there.

Unfortunately, there isn't. Making thumbnail finding case insensitive across platforms would result in more complicated loading scenario (repeated each time menu is scrolled), and for thumbnail download it would be even worse.

OK, I understand. I'll close this issue then. Thanks for the replies.
