Thanks! :D I know there is the customization menu but I just wanted to know which files to save in case I should make a backup.

I see :) No problem.

The custom string list is saved in persistent.json (in your appdata folder). But you don't need to edit it. There's a full customization menu when you click the little gear in the top right.

Installed 5.0.2.2519, added both "Lana Del Rey" and "P!nk" to the "Recommended changes to capitalization - Update properties?" dialog box, clicked OK, but unfortunately nothing changed.

Thanks - Looks like that was a bug. To be fixed as: https://www.ventismedia.com/mantis/view.php?id=18575

Thanks! Now it works! Can you please let me know in which file the custom string list is located?

In MediaMonkey 5.0.2 you can set it within the tool itself. This is why it was recommended, as 5.0.1 doesn't feature this.

I think, the issue is really with the special charachters (eg. spaces, exclamation points, etc..).

Did you manage to succesfully add a custom string that includes a space and/or a special character that works for MM5?
If yes, could you please post the code from dlgCaseChecker.js?

I believe you can simply add "Lana Del Ray" to the custom string list in the dialog, and it'll work as expected. Make sure you're using a 5.0.2 beta build for the most recent version of Case Checker.

I've tried, but that's not the case. I'm using version 5.0.1.2433 but I don't think it's a stable version issue.

In MM4 I have the following script in the Case.vbs file:
[code]Function updateCase(s)
Dim currentWord, result, fixed, theChar, lastNonWordChars
Dim forceIndex
Dim i
currentWord = ""
result = ""
lastNonWordChars = ""

For i = 1 to Len(s)
theChar = Mid(s,i,1)
If alphaNum.test(theChar) Then
currentWord = currentWord & theChar
Else
If currentWord <> "" Then
fixed = fixUp(currentWord,lastNonWordChars,theChar)
If Right(fixed,1) = theChar Then 'handle stuff like w/
fixed = Left(fixed,Len(fixed)-1)
lastNonWordChars = ""
Else
lastNonWordChars = theChar
End If
result = result & fixed
currentWord = ""
Else
lastNonWordChars = lastNonWordChars & theChar
End If
result = result & theChar
End If
Next 'i
If Len(currentWord) > 0 Then
result = result & fixUp(currentWord,lastNonWordChars,"")
End If
If Instr(result,"Lana del Rey") Then result=Replace(result,"Lana del Rey", "Lana Del Rey")
If Instr(result,"P!NK") Then result=Replace(result,"P!NK", "P!nk")
updateCase = result
End Function[/code]
As you can see, it manages P!nk as well since even if I write it in the forced caps it still converts to P!NK.

In MM5, the function updateCase(s) block is the following:
[code]function updateCase(s) {
var fixed, theChar;
var forceIndex;
var currentWord = "";
var result = "";
var lastNonWordChars = "";

for (var i = 0; i < s.length; i++) {
theChar = s[i];
if (alphaNum.test(theChar)) {
currentWord = currentWord + theChar;
} else {
if (currentWord !== "") {
fixed = fixUp(currentWord, lastNonWordChars, theChar);
if (fixed.slice(-1) === theChar) { // handle stuff like w/
fixed = fixed.substring(0, fixed.length - 1);
lastNonWordChars = "";
} else {
lastNonWordChars = theChar;
}
result = result + fixed;
currentWord = "";
} else {
lastNonWordChars = lastNonWordChars + theChar;
}
result = result + theChar;
}
};
if (currentWord.length > 0) {
result = result + fixUp(currentWord, lastNonWordChars, "");
}
return result;
};[/code]
I'm pretty sure this should be possible as well, but I don't know the correct syntax to add the exceptions..

If Instr(result,"Lana del Rey") Then result=Replace(result,"Lana del Rey", "Lana Del Rey")

Hi everybody, I have a similar question regarding a specific fixed case for an entire sentence.

In MM4 I tailored the old Case.vbs file to my needs: for example, if I wanted to lowercase all "del" but correctly show the name Lana Del Rey (with an uppercase "Del"), I added "del" to littleWordString and then added the following exception in the Function updateCase(s):

[code]If Instr(result,"Lana del Rey") Then result=Replace(result,"Lana del Rey", "Lana Del Rey")[/code]

This way, only the "Del" inside the singer's name would be uppercase.

Is there a way to do such thing in MM5 dlgCaseChecker.js file as well?

As it's a relatively simple but useful addition to allow custom capitalization, I've added and tracked it here: https://www.ventismedia.com/mantis/view.php?id=18292

The build in CaseChecker never allowed user customization in the the interface.

Although you can edit the script itself, any customization will be lost with every MediaMonkey update.

var forceCapString = "AC|EBN|OZN|...

var forceCapString = "SuidAkra|AC|EBN|OZN|...

It is not in GUI now (was it? Which version of CaseChecker you use?), but you can open file Scripts\caseChecker\dialogs\dlgCaseChecker.js in some text editor (NotePad is enough) and add "SuidAkra" to forceCapString variable. I.e. now it begins [code]var forceCapString = "AC|EBN|OZN|...[/code] and then it will be [code]var forceCapString = "SuidAkra|AC|EBN|OZN|...[/code]

I recommend to backup original file, so you can restore it, if something bad happens.

When I was using MM4, the Case Checker addon allowed me to specify words that needed to be in a fixed case pattern, such as the name of the band SuidAkra. I currently don't see how I can do that with the Case Checker addon for MM5. Is it possible to do so, and if not, would it be possible to add that functionality in?
