Selecting files with CAPITAL extensions for MRT

[DRP535]

Digital cameras are just one source that tends to create filenames in all CAPITAL letters. I dislike this and tend to manually change them back to lowercase. Is there a way I can quickly and easily search and select all files within a displayed pane with CAPITAL extensions for renaming via the MRT?

The select box via large + key is not case sensitive, so searching for .DWG or .JPG for example does not filter out those already lowercase.

Thanks

The current case doesn't matter

Select ALL (for example) jpg (jpg or Jpg or JPG or whatever) and change them to "jpg". This avoids complex search patterns.

Or just activate
"Configuration -> Options ... -> Display:
[x] Show old 8.3 filenames lowercase (like explorer)"

The select box via large + key is not case sensitive, so searching for .DWG or .JPG for example does not filter out those already lowercase.

When using the select box via large + key, hit the Define button. Then enable Regex and add "(?-i)" to your search pattern for case sensitive matching. For example:

Code: Select all

Search for:  (?-i)\.(DWG|JPG)$

Let me add one more:
At "Search" dialog switch to Plugin tab and enter:

Code: Select all

tc -  ext - cont (case) - DWG
tc -  ext - cont (case) - JPG

Don't forget to select option "OR (any match" if you are using multiple extension values!

Well, one more example how flexible TC is.
There is always more than one solution, just pick the one you like best.

Yep.

Script Content Plugin

"script.ini":

Code: Select all

[Script]
Section=IsUPPERCASE
[IsUPPERCASE]
Script=IsUPPERCASE.vbs
LongName=0

"IsUPPERCASE.vbs"

Code: Select all

If filename=UCase(filename) Then
 content="Ucase" 
Else
 content="Mixed"
End if

<Alt+F7> "Plugins"
[x] Search in plugins
[script] [Result] [=] [Ucase]
