Launcher allows creating new campaigns with existing names

[Ecks]

On Windows, you can create a new campaign with the name of an existing campaign if the case is different. This then loads the existing campaign instead of a new campaign. Normally, if the campaign exists trying to create a new campaign gives an error message.

Why would you use exactly the same name? Surely this would lead to confusion anyway.

@Ecks is very good at testing, and finds lots of stuff, including edge cases like this. :)

This is similar to the login/username issue. The login is case insensitive, but the character ownership within a campaign is case sensitive. So, I can log in as LordEntrails and claim a character. But if I then re-install and log in as lordentrails I can no longer claim "my" character.

Because you can not IMAGINE the amount of trouble the average users can cause...

Because you made a typo; because you have so many campaigns that you don't see them all in the list of the launcher so you don't realise that you have already used that name; because it's 2:30 AM on a Monday and you're frantically preparing the campaign for the day after and you're very tired, so your brain just goes for a "simple name", the same simple name you used three-four months ago.
The possible reasons are many.
