As you look at my example, you'll see files, with the same names, different cases, being used. How is it decided which file will be used when the plugin for the application calls TX_SKIN?

I'm guessing that you didn't try to go to windows and create two folders with the same name but with different cases. It won't work.

that means you can never have those two plugins in the same directory.

Windows allows to 'browse' and 'search' with case insensivity but it doesn't allow you to have two files with the same name, for the exact same reason. (Correct me if wrong, but I tested this a while ago)...
