rename single filename to UPPERCASE?

[brontosaurusrex]

When I have a single file selected/in typing rename mode, is there a shortkey to UPPERCASE that text selection? (I'am aware that multirename has case change option)

There isn't a build-in shortkey for that.

But you can make your own external command to rename a single file to upppercase.
1. First open the Mutli-Rename Tool and set it up to rename to upperscase
2. Press F2 and choose Save settings and name the setting: Uppercase
3. Open your usercmd.ini files (located in the same place as your wincmd.ini file - if you don't have a usercmd.ini, just make it in notepad).
4. Put this code in the usercmd.ini file:

Code: Select all

[em_Uppercase]
cmd=MULTIRENAME ==Uppercase

5. you can now assign the command em_Uppercase to a keyboard shortcut (Ctl+U for example) or use it in a button in the button bar.

Notice - the em_Uppercase command will rename all selected files, not just the one under the cursor.
If you assign em_Uppercase to a keyboard shortcut, that shortcut will not work if you have pressed Shift+F6 on the file.

I think that's not what the OP asked for. I think he asked for a keyboard shortcut to convert a selected part of a filename to uppercase when renaming a file.

No.

But you can make your own external command to rename a single file to upppercase.

The alternative:

Code: Select all

TOTALCMD#BAR#DATA
%comspec% /q/c for %f in
("%S") do for /f "tokens=2 delims=\" %%n in ('tree \%%f\^|find ":\"') do ren %%f "%%n"
wciconex.dll,199
Selected names to UPPERCASE

I think is about a similar feature in MS Word where Shift+F3 cycle case for selected text. Everything 1.5 use it also.

@massor, Yeah that was the idea.
@petermad, Thanks, multirename to uppercase with single click is just great.
@Fla$her, Thanks.

btw, chatgpt also 'found' a more general solution/workaround, which is to uppercase stuff in clipboard

Code: Select all

powershell -command "Set-Clipboard -Value ((Get-Clipboard).ToUpper())"
