how to - find folders case sensitive
thanks
I'm not sure that you can do case-sensitive searches.
What is it you're trying to do? If you want to find & rename folders that have the 'wrong' case then you can do that, since the Rename command can be made case-sensitive (and can also recurse into subdirectories).
Client asked us to fix a directory naming confusion for them. Having over a thousand dir's to do, I opted for a custom script to fix. Especially knowing I have more of the same coming soon.
Client had a lot of folders named the same (mp vs mP) both having unique contents. I needed to restructure the contents for all the mp folders, not the mP folders. Then rename all the mP folders to mobilePlatform. Both needed to keep the same directory folder location.
Everything worked out fine, as usual. Would have been conveniently nice to polish off with opus though.
Thanks again Leo... for the best ongoing support I've ever experienced anywhere!
I would have tackled that by renaming mP to mobilePlatform (the rename tool can be case-sensitive and recursive), then find the remaining mp folders and restructure them.
I couldn't figure out how to get all of one or the other to show. Was a rush job as usual!
I still don't, but the script works ok for now, not very flexible (only I know how to change it).
Maybe dopus can do it better (understood by all)?
Thanks
You don't have to hide/show anything. Just select a folder above all the ones you want to rename, click Rename on the toolbar (then Advanced if it opens in simple mode), put mP as the old name, mobilePlatform as the new name, and tick case-sensitive and rename files in selected sub-folders.
(Try it on a test area first in case it doesn't work as you expect, of course. 
)
(This also assumes there aren't any other files/folders called mP which you don't want to rename. If that isn't true, you could find all the folders you may want to rename, then select them all and do the same thing but without the rename files in selected sub-folders part.)
