Multi-rename uppercase first letter only, don't touch others

I have search the solution first using a regex, but it look like the replace field does not interpret tag like \u.

So I post here the solution: [N1][n][N2-1000] in the field name.

The "First letter uppercase" menu option is a bit misleading as it put all other letters in lowercase.
Would be good to have a "First letter uppercase leaving other letters untouched" integrated by default.

[N1][n][N2-] i'ts enough, there's no need to type "1000".
Also "First letter uppercase" is clear enough (at least for me) you get only First letter uppercase after rename.

Even more since there's a preview in the MRT window, so the resulting name is not surprising.

Thanks for the tip, Gral, of not putting something after the hyphen.

Depend how you interpret "only". For me you get not only the First letter uppercase, but the others ones in lowercase too. Clarifying the phrase would remove the ambiguity .

Not so obvious when you a have a bunch of files to rename and that all those files are mixed with a lot of uppercase/minuscase randomly.
