Pre-Defined Command Panel
Pre-defined renaming commands are available for insertion into the custom list.
There are many options available for
configuring what these commands do (see the
Option Window section for details ).
When using pre-defined commands, different parts of the name to be replaced
are selectable. The available parts to rename are the name prefix, the name
extension, or the entire name. If a name has no extension, then choosing the
prefix part or the entire name will have the same result. If a name has no extension, then
choosing the extension part will result in no renaming.
Pre-defined renaming commands are available to:
-
Change selected part of filename to lower case.
-
Change selected part of filename to upper case.
-
Eliminate all extra whitespace from selected part of filename. This
deletes leading and trailing whitespace and converts multiple
whitespace sequences to single blank sequences.
-

-
Change selected part of filename to title case. This results in the first letter
of each word being capitalized with remaining letters of the word converted to
lower case. Leading opening brackets (e.g. '(', '{', '[' ) in each word are skipped. This command
also eliminates extra whitespace by deleting leading and trailing
whitespace and converting multiple whitespace sequences to single blanks.
-
Change selected part of filename to sentence case. This results in the first letter
of the first word being capitalized with remaining letters of the word converted to

whitespace and converting multiple whitespace sequences to single blanks.

base pathname is '"c:\My Documents\eBooks', the filename is
'Moby Dick', and the parent folder name is 'eBooks'.

the mouse (see the Custom Renaming Panel section for details).

During the scan, names are first filtered using
the Name Filter. The names passed by the filter are then scanned for
potential replacements and a preview window is generated.
