I have a bunch of folders that are in all caps. Trying to adjust them so the first letter of each word is capitalized and the remaining letters in each word are lowercase.

Here are the steps I'm following:

1) Ensuring I'm on the "Rename Folders" tab in the right pane, not "Rename Files".
2) Drag and drop folders I want to change onto the right pane in the app.
3) Confirming I want to "Add the folders", with "add subfolders" and "add root folders" checked.
4) Clicking "Add Method", selecting "New Case", and then selecting "Set upper case first letter in every word".

The "New Foldername" column in the right pane, which shows the preview of the revised naming, continues to show the folder names in all caps.

Do I need to do something differently to adjust the folder names?

Thanks!

I'm realizing part of my issue is that this method isn't doing everything I was hoping it would. After playing around with other New Case methods this does indeed capitalize the first letter (which is already capitalized so I'm not seeing a difference), but does not lowercase the subsequent letters.

I think I may need to use a regex to create a custom method here? Does anyone have guidance on how to construct that regex? I tried inputting a few I found on StackExchange, but I'm getting errors that the regex is invalid.

Thanks!

The answer should be obvious!

Simply use two New Case methods:
1) "Set lower case"
2) "Set upper case first letter in every word"

Alternatively you can use a regex with replacement variable in the form \Fx
See www.regular-expressions.info/refreplacecase.html

Haha, you're right. I was completely overthinking this. Thanks for the easy solution!
