** Description changed:

- Binary package hint: nautilus
+ Binary package hint: nautilus, mv
  
- Can not change the name of a file called foo to Foo on FAT32 file-
- systems because of the case-insensitive feature of FAT32.
+ It is not possible to change the capitialization of filenames on a FAT32
+ volume. This is a bug because, although FAT32 is not case-sensitive, it
+ still have the ability to preserve the case of filenames.
+ 
+ Steps to reproduce:
+ 1. Create file "test" on FAT32 volume
+ 2. Try to rename new file to "TEST" using nautilus or mv
+ 
+ Actual results:
+ Displays an error 'The name "TEST" is already used in this folder. Please use a different name'
+ 
+ Expected results:
+ The filename should change to new requested filename
+ 
+ Does this happen every time?
+ Yes
