Capitalization Change Issue
Bulk rename, chose case change "First letter of each word capitalized, extension lowercase" and the word wouldn't was changed to Wouldn'T but I expected Wouldn't.

Re: Capitalization Change Issue
Thanks for the confirmation.
Another related issue I just noticed. Bulk rename with the same case change selection changes 5th to 5Th.

Hm.. that's right, so the first letter after any number should be lowercase, in this case.

Re: Capitalization Change Issue
Well, I got into this because I am cleaning up a rather large directory of mp3s and fixing artist and title issues. I was confused by all of the strange things I saw, so I researched on Google for "title capitalization rules" and found a couple of conventions each with their own rules for it. Some are slanted towards newspaper headline capitalization, others for a title someone holds, or book and song titles.
Anyway, all say that the first word is always capitalized as are important (significant) words. Some define that by parts of speech such as nouns, verbs, etc. Others define that as more than 4-5 characters. The reason that the numbers appear in some conventions is that most agree that shorter words (usually parts of speech called articles) are not title capitalized , such as: a, an, the, and, at, for, to, as, or. Of course unless they happen to be the first word in the title. And let's not forget Roman numerals such as IV (the number 4) should be all capitalized.
Complicated, isn't it?
