Hi i made a small script for placing my pictures on the internet.
I don't know why but my camera makes the names now in CAPITALS...

bv : IMG_2001.JPG

but when i place it together with img_2000.jpg then my script doens't
perform as wanted.

Is there an easy command to change all the files in a dir (or even subdir) to
non-capitals?

You could try the following python program. I actually wrote it for windows
(I was transferring files from W2K/NTFS to a FAT16 zip drive to a W98/FAT32
drive, and all the file names ended up horribly upper case), but it should
work fine here. It runs recursively through directories.

def HandleFile(f, d) :
lw = f.lower()
if f != lw :
print "File %s%s -> %s" % (d, f, lw)
os.rename(f, lw)

def HandleDir(d, base = '') :
lw = d.lower()
if d != lw :
print "Dir %s%s -> %s" % (base, d, lw)
os.rename(d, lw)
else :
print "Dir %s%s" % (base, d)
oldCwd = os.getcwd()
os.chdir(d)
dir = os.listdir('.')
for f in dir :
if os.path.isfile(f) : HandleFile(f, base + d + '/')
if os.path.isdir(f) : HandleDir(f, base + d + '/')
os.chdir(oldCwd)

HandleDir('.')
