Description Renan Inácio 2014-04-14 00:36:18 UTC 
Assume you have a folder called /tmp/AAA. If you type "/tmp/aaa" in krunner, it will display the option "Open /tmp/aaa" but will fail because it does not exist.

What I would expect is that even if i typed lowercase, the option would have the correct case. If there are other paths, like /tmp/AaA, /tmp/aAA and even /tmp/aaa, they should also be displayed for the user to choose.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
0. Create folder /tmp/AAA
1. Type /tmp/aaa in krunner and select "Open /tmp/aaa"
2. Type /tmp/AAA in krunner and select "Open /tmp/AAA"
3. Type /tmp/AA in krunner
Actual Results:  
1. It fails
2. It succeeds
3. The option "Open /tmp/AA" isn't avaiable (because it doesn't exist).

Expected Results:  
1. Should display "Open /tmp/AAA", so it can succeed.
2. Actual result is expected
3. Actual result is expected

Ubuntu 13.10
KDE 4.12.3 (kubuntu-ppa backports)

Confirmed. This also affects version 5.0, which means I now care! :)
