Great!

Which varient of this would you prefer I implement? I think the two
obvious choices are:

1) do what I did in the May patch, which is to force
VFAT_SFN_CREATE_WINNT when the patch code triggers.

2) force VFAT_SFN_CREATE_WINNT, but also if the name is mixed case
within either prefix or extension (such as "Mixed.TXT") then force
that part of the name to all lowercase. So "Mixed.TXT" would become
"mixed.TXT" on disk.

The 2nd choice maximises compatibility with devices that don't
understand long filenames (such as Jan's camera). The first option
keeps case preservation for devices that do understand long filenames.

What do you think?

Cheers, Tridge
