Summary0002696: FileMonitor adds tracks in 8.3 filename format
DescriptionAs reported by Jack Riber, it sometimes happen that FileMonitor adds duplicate tracks to MM DB - then there's not only the original version, but also a track with filename in old 8.3 DOS format.

Here's more from him:

> Anyways, I found a bit strange 'bug' in the 'File Monitor' feature.
>
> When doing scripting, using the short 8.3 filenames in external command
> line
> utilities fire off the File Monitor and make it add duplicates in the
> Library.
>
> Maybe it would be worth while having the File Monitor check for
> File.LongName OR File.ShortName instead of just
> 'File.LongName"
>
> To demonstrate the 'funny bugger', below is a mp3gain.exe command utility
> script that use the files short name 8.3 instead of the long name to get
> more songs into a single command line.

Fixed by Petr in build 1011.
 - It was found out that the issue is specific to FAT filesystem, it's reproducable there and Petr's fix seems to work fine.
