It surely did. In all Windows systems up to now, the capitalization of filenames was irrelevant. Two filenames that differ only in capitalization represent the same file. Jqt ensures that they are treated equally by using the lowercase name internally. You are trying to open a file whose full pathname has uppercase characters in a case-sensitive drive. That won't work, and requires changes to support both case-sensitive and case-insensitive folders on the same platform. Incidentally, the internal use of lowercase names on Windows has been our practice since at least J6, so is not new to Jqt. JHS doesn't do this, so should work on the new folder.
