import rename pairs makes 'from' names lowercase

Postby cyberdegn » Tue Mar 18, 2025 6:30 pm

Hello, new user trying to finish my rename job. I've used a spreadsheet to map out a 1:1 pairing for renaming, and now I'm trying to use the Import Rename Pairs function of BRU. The problem is the "From" files are getting converted to lower case even though my source is capitalized. I've tried both from .csv file and from clipboard and get the same behavior.

The 'to' column has no issue maintaining the capitalization of the source file/clipboard.

I appreciate any help!

so it appears if I hit ctrl-alt-s to 'select pairs' it then loads and work.

Hi, the From column is always imported in lower case because Windows file system is case-insensitive, so the match is always case-insensitive.
So if the file to rename is FileName.txt in the From column you can specify fileName.txt or Filemame.txt, it will be imported as filename.txt and will match FileName.txt.

We have noted down to not change to lower case in the next version as it is confusing, however the matching between the From name and the existing name will still be case insensitive as Windows makes no difference between File.txt or file.txt
