Description Denis Jacquerye 2007-03-27 07:10:33 UTC 
When saving a file, if there's already a file existing with a canonically equivalent name, they should conflict and be considered to have the same name, i.e. ask the user to overwrite the other.

For example, a file "école" is in the working directory, and a file "école" is going to be saved. These are the same name for the user, they should be considered as such by Gnumeric.
Note: first name has <U+0065 LATIN SMALL LETTER E + U+0301 COMBINING ACUTE ACCENT>
second name has <U+00E9 LATIN SMALL LETTER E WITH ACUTE>

When saving a new file, the name should probably be normalized, NFC is probably the safest for compatibility with legacy systems.

Comment 2 Morten Welinder 2007-03-27 13:31:32 UTC 
As described, I don't think we want to fix it.

The near-match could be in any path component.  In the remote-file case
it could even be for hostname.  We do not want to list files or hosts
at all levels in the path.

I think this should be fixed somewhere in the file chooser, i.e., at the
entry level.

We simply use gtk_file_chooser_get_uri.

This is a gtk issue.
