Upper case the extension only

Remon · 2012-10-09 16:11

Maybe a very simple question but I can't find the answer:

How can I rename only the extensions to uppercase?

There is an option in the Case rule to force the extension to lower case, but no option for the upper case yet. It seems quite logical, I will add it shortly. I guess nobody has asked for it before.

In the meantime, it could be performed with either a PascalScript or a combination of RegEx/Rearrange and Case rules.

Thank you. Someone has to be the first

Till today the simplest way is to use a PascalScript rule:

begin
    FileName := WideExtractBaseName(FileName)
              + WideUpperCase( WideExtractFileExt(FileName) );
end.

I've added "Extension always upper case" option to the Case rule.

Try the latest development version: ReNamer Beta

Thank you. What an incredible support

BTW I noted that when you unselect files in the filelist (removing the checkbox --> selecting the files and clicking on the space bar), it doesn't change the colors of these files. They are still red colored including the change what has to be made by the rule.

Marking/unmarking files does not cause the new names to be regenerated automatically. However, if file is unmarked it will be skipped from following Preview and Rename operations. If you click Preview after unmarking the file it will blank its new name.

ah ok.
Thanks for your answer.

Logical? Of course it is logical, which is why I requested this feature (changing case of only extension and skipping filename) more than 4 years ago (and even provided mock-ups of how the dialog could be improved a bit), but you stated that "very few users would ever bother changing the case of the extension". Fine, you are the final judge obviously so I have been using custom scripts all this time or other renaming utils to accomplish this. Sorry, but how come the exact same suggestion seems logical now and not back then? Anyway, better later than never I guess.

Andrew, thanks to you too (as the first one who asked this feature), den4b added our request.
