Script to Batch Rename as Title Case

[Stephen_A_Marsh]

This comes up from time to time due to the shortcoming of Bridge Batch Renaming having only UPPERCASE or lowercase options. It is possible to create a Regular Expression based Batch Rename to create Title Case , however, it isn't very flexible and can be complex to setup.

The following script simplifies the process of renaming selected files to use a simple Title Case naming convention.

For example, the following original filenames:

the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.psd

THE QUICK BROWN FOX JUMPS OVER THE LAZY DOG.psd

Would be transformed to:

The Quick Brown Fox Jumps Over The Lazy Dog.psd

#target bridge

if (BridgeTalk.appName == "bridge") {
   var titleCase = new MenuElement("command", "Rename to Title Case", "at the end of Tools");
}

titleCase.onSelect = function () {
   var theFiles = app.document.selectionsLength;
   for (var a = 0; a < theFiles; a++) {
      var selsName = decodeURI(app.document.selections[a].spec.name.replace(/\.[^\.]+$/, ''));
      var selsExt = decodeURI(app.document.selections[a].spec.name.replace(/(^.+)(\.[^\.]+$)/, '$2'));
      app.document.selections[a].name = toTitleCase(selsName) + selsExt;
   }

   function toTitleCase(theText) {
      var theText = theText.toLowerCase().split(' ');
      for (var i = 0; i < theText.length; i++) {
         theText[i] = theText[i].charAt(0).toUpperCase() + theText[i].slice(1);
      }
      return theText.join(' ');
   }

}
