I've only just noticed the latest update to the case checker script in v5.0.3.2611. I used to edit my script manually and then just paste it back into the 'dialogs' folder every time I updated MM but I found on the latest version it causes MM to crash when I run my edited script. So I've reverted back to the default script provided and it works OK again but one question:
I prefer to have every single word in my entire library capitalised (including things like 'A', 'An' 'Feat.' etc.) but I can't seem to make this permanently stick in the new version. If I go to the settings within the Case Checker dialog box and delete everything from the field 'Customize case for these phrases mid-string: a|an|feat' then it works on that particular time but the next time I run Case Checker it's repopulated that field again with 'a|an|feat'.
Is there a way to permanently clear that field so that it will always cap every word each time? And is manually editing the dlgCaseChecker.js file no longer advisable?

I can confirm, I've let its developer know.

Confirmed, to be fixed as: https://www.ventismedia.com/mantis/view.php?id=18984
Editing only the "var littleWordString = ..." and "var forceCapString = ..." lines in dlgCaseChecker.js should be ok, but with the introduction of all the customization settings (now that they're fixed) you should not need to.

Re: Case Checker script update
Just checked this in today's update (5.0.3.2616) and it does now retain any changes the user makes to their preferences but the case checking in general seems very strange in what it reports as recommended changes.
I basically cleared the 'customize case for these phrases' and 'customize case for these phrases mid-string' checkbox options
and tried running the script on a bunch of random tracks and it came back with some highlighted recommendations that were exactly the same as what the fields were originally:
For example, it recommends changing the track name 'Life' to 'Life' which is exactly the same. I can't see exactly why it's flagging up some instances but it seems pretty buggy/inconsistent in general.

Re: Case Checker script update
Still not working correctly in 2617 update. I select a few tracks with lower case titles, go to Edit Tags>Case Checker... and it shows them all highlighted in the preview dialogue box ready to be corrected but when I click OK they don't get corrected.
Re: Case Checker script update
Apologies, I have not yet fixed it.

Re: Case Checker script update
Not a problem, just wanted to flag it up! Thanks again for sorting these things out:)

Haven't actually had the opportunity to test it, and this is finals week at school, but it's tracked as: https://www.ventismedia.com/mantis/view.php?id=19040
