+---Topic: New 'Case fix and replace' Option started by Temerald

In the 'Auto case fix settings' window, it would be a simple matter to add a check box (maybe right next to the Advanced button) self descriptively titled 'Full uppercase for vowless text'
It would be a simple function to check for any vowels in each word (a,e,i,o,u) and if not, make the word all uppercase.
For those of us who deal with strange disc titles (such as Dj's and Kj's having alpha numeric disc titles) this function would be always on.

I'm pretty sure that I understand the motivation for this suggestion, but I would not use such a feature. As I've mentioned previously, a significant percentage of my music library is made up of techno/trance/etc albums and compilations, so issues relating to DJ, MC, and other capitalized strings are important to me.
But it's relatively simple to add rules as I come across instances where I will always want capitalization, and I can immediately think of a few instances where I do not want full capitalization: Mr, Ms, Dr, Vs, DJs, and so forth.
Please understand, I'm not necessarily against adding the option that you propose, I'm just not persuaded that such an absolute rule has much utility given the relatively low number of applicable instances and the number of potentially conflicting instances.
