Agree with Mauve on this one. I've been updating a number of files where I need to change the case, and these are on a SanDisk 1TB SSD which has been formatted with exFAT
When I set all the parameters required - using both (a) [Filters (12)] to include exclude files in folders/subfolders and (b) [Case (4)] to change the case at Title level with a selection of exceptions that are separated by Colons.
I've tested a number of times and found:
- The changes I require are reflected correctly in both the Name column and the New Name column which has the changes shown in Green
- The Preview has been checked to ensure that the changes to be made are correct also
- The same issue occurs whether I select the Rename button on the Preview window or the Main window
- The warnings for the change are presented correctly on the screen as 'about to be processed' and with the correct number of changes as presented in the previous screens
- The Rename Operation Complete windows indicates that the items were processed (with green OK next to all items that should have changed but didn't)
Then... looking with either Windows Explorer or Xyplorer... I see that none of the changes have been made
Have tried to stop and restart the tool... but have the same result
I don't know if the subdirectory element is causing this to not work. I've previously had - on this same drive - the case changes occur fine when all the files are in the same directory... however with this number of files it is impossible to put them all into one directory. Need this to work at subdirectory level as well
Not sure how to implement Mauve's solution - I have around 1550 titles to change and can't fix this particular problem in the way suggested
Any thoughts most welcome
