Is it possible to make WinMerge treat different case (case-sensitive) files and folders names as distinct files and folders?
NOTE I: I am running "WinMerge" over "Wine" (Linux).
NOTE II: As we know the "default" Linux file system is case sensitive different from the "default" Windows file system. So we are looking for a workaround for this problem.
IMPORTANT: We have particular reasons for using "WinMerge" in Wine, so we do not look for other alternatives for "diff tools".

1If turning on the option to treat case-sensitive items differently does not cut it, you might simply have to compare these "duplicates" directly. – Anaksunaman – 2017-11-22T09:32:36.197
1@Anaksunaman That was also the solution I found too! Thanks! – Eduardo Lucio – 2017-11-22T12:47:19.393
Not a problem. =) – Anaksunaman – 2017-11-22T12:48:22.383
1@Anaksunaman Yes! This is a side effect (Wine) of adapting Windows file system to the Linux file system. I believe there is nothing to do but a modification in the WinMerge code. – Eduardo Lucio – 2017-11-22T12:55:22.060
