FileBoss

Changing Case of Filenames

Or to upper case, lower case or even first caps!

A webmaster had to move several sites from a Windows based server to Linux. In the process she wanted to reduce all filenames to lower case to reduce problems with Linux's case-sensitive conventions.

She used FileBoss' Quick Set renaming panel to quickly set thousands of filenames to lower case.

 

First
Create a File Set if Necessary

 

   If all the files you want to change are in one folder display that folder in an Explore View and go straight to Select the Files to be Copied.

 

Otherwise:

   Remember that you can save File Set definitions for later use making it easy and quick to repeat this operation another time.

 

Second
Select the Files to be Changed

 

   Use any of FileBoss' advanced selection methods to pick the files you want to change. From simply selecting 'All' to selecting by almost any criteria you can think of FileBoss will make this step really easy.

Third
Set the Case of the Filenames

 

   Use the Actions | Rename... command from the main menu

   or press Ctrl+R

 

The Rename dialog will appear

 

   Select the 'Quick Sets' tab across the top.

   In the Name and Extension groups select whether you want to set the names to Lower Case, Upper Case, Word Cap or No Change.

   Click OK and you will be able to either confirm or skip each file or have FileBoss rename all selected files without pause.
