[QUOTE="NanoBite, post: 327452, member: 13565"] OK...wait...it's not over yet! To all those who posted in this thread saying that you could do what federicog was asking - using Automator ... or at least AppleScript, well please read on ...... Start by opening your Applications folder, and then look inside your AppleScript folder. Now double-click on the [COLOR="Indigo"][I]AppleScript Utility icon[/I][/COLOR], and in the resulting dialog, turn on the Show Script Menu in Menu Bar checkbox. Close the Utility dialog, and then go to the menu bar and click on the Script icon — a list of all sorts of cool automatic functions are now just a click away. Now to part II: Click on the applescript icon in the menu bar and scroll down the list to Finder Scripts. Look at the contextual menu that pops out .... in that list are some great options but the one I'm interested in is: [B][I][COLOR="Red"]Change Case of Item Names[/COLOR][/I][/B] Now...return to the Desktop and find those files that have a combination of upper/lower case letters in their names and highlight them all. Return to the AppleScripts icon, scroll down to Finder Scripts - slide into the contextual menu and scroll down to Change Case of Item Names ... A little window will appear with[I][COLOR="DarkOliveGreen"] Change case to[/COLOR][/I]: There are 3 options available: Cancel, UPPER & lower. Make your choice and then the job is finished. Mac handled the whole process - just like we all knew it could. But it really is that simple! ? [/QUOTE]
