Environment

Novell Filr 1.0.0

Situation

When a directory contains 2 files with the same name, however they are using different accent only a single file will be visible if Filr.

Example:
A directory contains the following 2 files:
large.txt
lárge.txt
Only one single file will be shown in Filr.

Resolution

A fix for this issue was included in the Filr 1.0.1 release.

Cause
