Lower case bat: easy way to "lower case" all files

Post by Baker »

Converts all files to lower case; works recursively in all sub-folders.

It is a Windows batch file. To use, extract to the base folder you want to "lower cased" and it recursively does this to every sub-folder.

Linux and most non-Windows operating systems are case sensitive and having file names in mods in uppercase really is counter-productive.

And unfortunately windows likes to actively sabotage mods by secretly upper-casing extensions. For example, saving a file in windows will automatically give you an all-caps extension unless you type the extension in lower-case manually. Then windows explorer will show the extension as lower-case to fool you into thinking all is well.

Windows programming IDEs also seem to make an effort to use Microsoft C extensions in place of standard C functions...

if they would just play nice with others, and price their products reasonably, a lot of the criticism would die down...

I think €0.00 is quite reasonable for the Visual Studio Express editions...

All of my current work is done using the Express editions in fact (supplemented by SDKs also at a cost of €0.00), and I have seriously never felt the lack of the full Visual Studio, they're that good.
