Failed to load the file list

[infector]

Can't open user list.

Failed to load the file list USER_NAME: The directory Music\Library\E\DIR_NAME\ contains items with duplicate names (DIR_NAME, FILE_NAME)

The filelist is malformed.

"each file or directory name must be unique in a case-insensitive context."

ok, file list from EiskaltDC++ 2.2.9.

Can we change error message to something like this:

ADC protocol violation, file or directory name not unique: Failed to load the file list USER_NAME: The directory Music\Library\E\DIR_NAME\ contains items with duplicate names (DIR_NAME, FILE_NAME)

this will more clear to user, because user not know all ADC protocol restrictions.

Related to linux, user have same directory with different case. EiskaltDC hash it, AirDC++ can't open.

What do you mean with "AirDC++ can't open"? AirDC++ should merge such directories when generating filelist.

If i try open this file list window closed after 1 second with error "Failed to load the file..."

Yes, eiskaltdcpp seems to (intentionally) generate malformed lists and disobey the spec: https://github.com/eiskaltdcpp/eiskaltdcpp/commit/cbc3ae53a1259b5c7a1549e7c824e0b6bc497b6d

The same happens with FlylinkDC++ as well, while AirDC++ and DC++ will handle shared duplicates correctly via merging/renaming. At the moment, AirDC++ is probably only client that validates the lists for duplicates, which is problematic indeed if no one else cares about the validity. I'll create a new issue for DC++ a bit later.
