Control over the case of a file/folder name

Dan Gravell 21 supporters

Currently bliss always performs case sensitive comparisons of music tags to file/folder names. It should be optional to force bliss to consider what a file/folder name should be in light of a preferred case.

For instance, when using <fileextension> to organise music files by their file type, it would be useful to be able to enforce capitals, otherwise on case sensitive file systems we may end with folders like mp3/, MP3/ and so on.

I'll merge this with the more general "Control over the case of a file/folder name" - this way upper, lower, title or whatever case could be chosen.

I would like to be able to force naming to lower case. I find navigating a file structure that is capitalised or all upper case quite awkward under linux (not to mention the extra strain on the shift key ;-) ).

I am running bliss on a linux host and it turns out automatic moving files is not an option for me because I get duplicated entries like "Sigur Ros" "sigur Ros" and "sigur ros". I would be perfectly happy to force everything to lower case.

Being somewhat fussy (ok anal retentive) I would like to be able to select Case Rules for File/Folder Names so that they can match the Tags (apart from replacing spaces with underscores).

I would like to be able to force <fileextension> to be lower or upper when naming folders.

For example
album artist/album artist - album/....
ANATHEMA\Anathema - Judgment\...

I would like to be able to capitalise the first <album artist> and name the second <album artist> to lower case

That would be my number one request - at the very least for file extensions.

I currently have both flac and MP3, and I would *love* to sort them by mp3/artist/album and flac/artist/album

Using Bliss on Vortexbox and this feature would be so useful!

in fact, a solution could be to have a capitalisation enforcement for the tags (as it exists in bliss) and an other capitalisation in file/folder generation.
<track name> write track name like the tag,
<track name upper> write track name upper case,
<track name lower> write track name upper case,
...

Dan Gravell

Yeah - I was actually wondering if simply varying the case of the token would be elegant:

<TRACK NAME>
<track name>
<Track name>
<Track Name>

Unfortunately it's difficult to communicate all capitalisation possibilities in that way. But simply "parameterising" the token could work:

<track name:uppercase>
<track name:lowercase>
<track name:sentencecase>
<track name:titlecase>

I'd love to see this feature implemented! I want to list all files/folders as lower case only, but leave the actual tags in title case. Parameterizing the token makes the most sense to me.

casing control is really missing, furthermore on linux storage. i've got many folders with casing differences, and it's a problem when trying to access them from windows.
