How can I save a .JPG in lower case?

[Guest]

Hi

When I save a photo, the only option offered to me is upper case .JPG (or
whatever file extension) I need to save it as lower case. (in the file type
drop down box)

Sometimes I can 'rename' a photo by right clicking on it and save it as .jpg
and it's OK - other times it comes up as .jpg.JPG which I only find out when
I've navigated to upload the photo and it's really frustrating

Is there anywhere I can check that it's the correct filename before I get to
uploading stage - or better still, is there any way I can alter the options
offered so that they automatically save in lower case?

Incidentally - I do need to do this as the server I am using is case
sensitive - don't know why, but that's the way it is ;-) and I get the same
problem with .PDF (.pdf) so it'll be useful there too.

Thanks very much

Liz

I assume you're uploading from a Camera? My Cannon does the same
thing. Not much help reseting the default upload names, I really doubt
it's possible. It's pretty easy to rename all the files in a folder,
though, using DOS batch files. And here's how you do it:

click "Start", "Run", type "cmd" (without the quotes), and click OK.

This'll open a DOS window. In the window, type "cd /d {file
directory}" without the quotes, and where {file directory} is replace
with the complete folder name where you uploaded the photos. Click
return. Type "dir" and press return. You should see a list of all
your photos.

Now comes the fun part. Type "for /f %i in ('dir /b *.jpg') do ren %i
*.jpg", again without quotes, and press return. This will
automatically rename all your photo files with a lower-case extension.

If'n you have problems with this, just holler, or write me off-list. I
could hack a small file together that automates this, if you like, no
problem at all.

Hope this helps,
