- Drops to Lowercase:
-
- This is a Macintosh Drag&Drop application that when a file or group of files is
- dropped onto it, it changes their file names to all lowercase.
-
- WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO DO THAT?
- You are writing a wicked cool HTML W3 file. You have links to all sorts of
- files. You wrote <IMG SRC="dorm9.gif"> the file you got from your boneheaded
- friend with the Intel box gave you a file named DORM9.GIF. When you upload all
- these files to your UNIX box the links wont work.
-
- I write & edit HTML for a living. The other day I got about 200 files from some
- boneheaded PC lover and all his links were a no go because of incorrect case.
- It was faster for me to write this program than to re-type all the filenames.
-
- After using this, close the finder window containg the file(s) and re-open it.
-
- I did very little error trapping in writing this. If you just run the program,
- it will sit there in the background until you drop a file on it. I have no idea
- what it will do when it encounters a locked file or a file from a locked
- volume. A general rule of thumb is that it has to process a file correctly to
- quit.
