Some days ago, I needed to find all .JPG-files and rename them to .jpg, after that only the renamed images should be uploaded via FTP.
All files are spreaded over about 100 folders.
You might image how long this would take manually.
So, what I've did is:
1.) Case-sensitive-search for *.JPG
2.) Mark all items
3.) Batch rename
4.) Report from current view with only itempath and itemname
5.) Analyse FileZilla xml-queue-file
6.) RegExReplace the report to a queue-file with EditPadPro
7.) Load queue-file and upload files
That took about 5 to 10 minutes for about 4000 corresponding files. Would have been serveral hours manually, thanks a lot.
Every day I'am using XY, is a pleasure to me
