Change whole project filenames to either lowercase or UPPERCASE

CaseSwitcher It's that simple...

NB: CaseSwitcher has a command line version. Find it here CaseSwitcher

CaseSwitcher is a tiny system that allows you to change or rename files to lowercase or UPPERCASE by clicking one button. Its that simple...

BABY STEPS 👶

Current Version: 0.1.2-beta Tested on: Linux (elementary OS) - Should work on UNIX like systems

CaseSwitcher is still taking baby steps, so handle with care. This is a beta release. Please DO NOT test it on important files or directories. Test it on less critical files and directories. You've been warned 😏

REQUIRES

PHP Version: 7.0.25+

USE CASE

Consider the situation where you (using a UNIX system - Linux/Mac) and a friend on a Windows system sends you an project to work on. You open the folder and you realize that all the files are in uppercase or title case. However, within the code, all files were referenced in lowercase. This is not a problem on Windows with Windows being case-insensitive operation system. This will however be problematic for a UNIX user because UNIX file system is case sensitive. This will mean that you will have to carefully change the file names to lowercase for your system. In such a situation, CaseSwitcher is your best friend.

caseswitcher's Issues

Do not rename hidden files in UNIX file systems

Hidden files on UNIX (Linux/Mac) file systems begin with a dot eg. ".hiddenfile.ext". If a file is hidden we should not rename it. The system should ignore it.

Does not work on Windows

No need to rename a single file

At the moment, the system can be used to rename a single file. I feel this is not necessary.
If you want to rename a single file you can simply do that in the GUI or on the command line with mv for Unix or rename on Windows

Recursively go through subfolders and rename files in them

|__Folder1
| |File.txt
| |File.js
| |File.rar*
|File.rar*

the app will be more powefull if we could upload a convert a zip file

for example if we have a project containing multiple files and folders, it will be awesome to convert the whole project instead of each folder. we can even go further by adding a ".switchignore" file to ignore some files / folders from conversion

Convert system into a command line app

It would be nice if the system could be run from the command line. No need to launch a browser to rename files. eg. $ caseswitcher [options] path/to/file/or/directory
