[Windows] Rename ignored if only character case changes

Post by SteW »

Hi,
I like my shows titled with every word capitalised. When using FileBot, if the only change is to the case of some letters, the rename doesn't work.

eg. If the show is titled "Cheers\Season 01\S01E01 - Give me a ring sometime.avi", the rename to "Cheers\Season 01\S01E01 - Give Me A Ring Sometime.avi" won't work.

If it's a more significant change, everything is ok.

eg. If the show is titled "Cheers\Season 01\S01E01 Give me a ring sometime.avi", the rename to "Cheers\Season 01\S01E01 - Give Me A Ring Sometime.avi" will work.

Any ideas?

My rename scheme is currently -
F:\My Videos\Films, TV, etc\TV Series\{n}\{episode.special ? '' : 'Season '+s.pad(2)}/{episode.special ? 'S00E'+special.pad(2) : S00E00} - {t.upperInitial().replaceAll(/[!?]+$/).replaceAll(/[`´‘’ʻ]/, "'").replaceAll(/[:]/)}

(I'm sure that renaming scheme can be improved, but I'm still adding corrections as I'm going through my collection!)

Thanks,

Re: upperInitial not working if only the case is wrong

On Windows paths are case-insensitive so Windows may ignore rename calls.

Some system information would have been helpful => viewtopic.php?f=6&t=1868

You could try using the FileBot (platform) shortcut instead of FileBot shortcut => viewtopic.php?f=3&t=1961

Apologies, I should have read the threads you linked to.

I'm using Windows 7 64bit, and I used the filebot.launcher.exe.

I've just tried using the filebot.platform.launcher.exe shortcut, and it works!

Again apologies for not reading the threads. And thanks for the prompt reply.
