How to change filenames from UPPER CASE to Proper Case?

G'day

I have made a workaround for this problem using Excel with a formula =Proper(cell) but it's tedious copying them all over, especially when there are 40 tracks in a folder, and even more particularly because the Windows clipboard is an erratic and unreliable POS (when it works it's great and simple-quick-easy, but far too often it drops out names that have been added or rearranges the order).

A minor problem with this method is that DON'T becomes Don'T but that dON't come up very often.  ;D

So I wonder if there is a way it can be done in JRiver with some kind of formula or rule? I can't see anything in Rename, Move & Copy Files (or the wiki), but I figure this is probably a common problem for users.

Quite often it's the filenames and the track names as well, but sometimes it's either/or.

Have a look at "Library Tools > Clean File Properties"... Pay particular attention to the capitilisation options.

Does that help?

FenceFurniture:
Excellent Marko - thank you! There's so much more useful stuff in there too.....

RoderickGI:
The "Library Tools > Clean File Properties" will fix tags, but if you want to change actual file names to Title (Proper) Case, then use the Rename, Move & Copy Files function and wrap your Filename rules in the FixCase() function, in the form;

FixCase({Filename Rules}, 1)

Just check the Preview in RM&CF carefully, as FixCase() capitalises all words, including "the" "of" etc.

FenceFurniture:
Rightio, thanks Roderick. I'm sure that will get used too.
