in general such long names are probably not read (and in mkiv i do a 
lookup for lowercase anyway in case of no match)

(also, the above name looks funny as it's no SimpleSlides)

it's no problem to use HorizontalStripes in you ruser interface and 
lowercase in filenames

but indeed the fact that we have case-insensitive filesystems are also a 
reason

ps. in project my experience is that quite some problems come from 
filename mismatches in sources and resources (mixed case, funny chars, 
one of more spaces in a row, etc) esp third party graphics
