If you have
any tips about Change Case and are glad to share
them with others, please let me know. I will publish
your tips in the document of next version or my web
pages.
Why
Change Case seemed not to change all filenames to upper
case?
Some
users report that when they use Change Case to
change the filenames to upper case, Windows Explorer
shows filename with an initial capital and the rest
is lower case after this change. In fact, this is NOT
a bug of Change Case. This is a problem of Windows.
If the length of folder/file name is less than or equal
to 8 and the folder/file name is in upper case, Windows
Explorer will display it with an initial capital. But
if you use DIR command in MS-DOS prompt or in Netscape
Navigator or FTP clients, you will see the filename
is really upper case. This is designed by Windows.
If
you install Internet Explorer 4.0 or higher, you can
change the setting to view all uppercase filenames:
1. Double-click My Computer, and then click Folder Options
on the View menu. 2. Click on the View tab, check Allow
all uppercase names, and then click OK.
PRB:
Change Case rearranges the order of the programs in
Start/Programs
Change
Case don't change anything
but the file name case, but Windows 98 or Windows 95
w/ IE4 may wrongly think you want to reorder the Start
Menu when you run Change Case to change filenames
in Start/Program folder. There are two ways to resolve
this problem.
You
can save a case setting as default option. There is
a new way to set default option from command line. If
command line argument contains a case option without
filename, e.g. Chgcase/u, Change Case
will ignore the saved setting, and assume upper case
option as the default one. So you can create several
shortcuts to represent different case option.
