Dreamweaver ????

[SNOW]

I need help.. I'm learning dreamweaver....

Here is the problem... On my index page i have the thumbnails in lowercase and the Images themselfs are in Caps.. Rather then going into the server i want to change the index page..

Example on my indexpage i have dscn1658.jpg
But on my server i have DSCN1658.JPG

How do I change all of dscn and jpg to DSCN and JPG I cant figure it out rather then doing them 1 by 1 I want it to just change all...

Any help would be appreciated

use the replace all command on your folder of html files for dreamweaver.....

in other words, change all of your html to uppercase its simple.

If you mean it's like that in the CODE in your html files, then yes... Find & Replace will do it.

If you mean your actual IMAGES are named that way, use a proggy like ACDsee to do a mass renaming.

also, after you get them all renamed, check your options in wsftp or whatever you're using to "Force lowercase file names on transfer"... then that won't happen anymore.

Are you using ACDsee like I said?

Open it up and browse to your image folder. Select all files you wanna change. Go up to Tools, and select "Rename Series". For your renaming template, type in *.jpg and click "Okay".

That's all there is to it.

If you're just trying to change source code, and not the actual image file names, you can do it in Dreamweaver with Find & Replace.

Go up to Edit, select Find & Replace. Select the folder you want to perform the Find & Replace on. (It will also do any subfolder under the one you select). Choose "Source Code" from the dropdown box. In the box next to the "Search For" dropdown, type in the text/source you wanna change. So, if you wanna change the actual file names, you'll hafta do it for each file name. Like this:

Search for: SOMEIMAGE.JPG
Replace with someimage.jpg

for each and every file name. Because they're all different.

If you just wanna change the extension, do it like this:

Search for: .JPG
Replace with: .jpg

If I understand you correctly, your server is not associating the file names properly because they're all in uppercase on the server, but your links are in lowercase.... right?

If that's the case, just set your ftp software to "Force lowercase filenames on transfer" and re-upload your images. (after you delete them from the server that is, because it won't overwrite the same filename if the file is unchanged.)

Press CTRL-H and then use the thing which pops up.

If you're changing source code, you'll hafta do those one at a time, because all the file names are different... you can only Find & Replace one string at a time. (this will take forever if you have alot of images)

If you're trying to change the file names themselves... the ACTUAL file names, not the source code, you can't do that with DW.... you need an image program.

Unless of course, the source you're changing is all in one neatly coded image array like I use. ;-)

Then you could copy the whole array into the Search string box, duplicate it in the Replace string box, change the values, and do it all in one shot.

If the above is the format for all your files and thumbs, then follow this carefully. This will change the references in ALL matching files in the site, so make sure this is what you want.
Do a find/replace in the dreamweaver site manager (not the html editor section).
Make sure it have "select files in site" selected, and select "Match Case".
Put "dscn" in the find section, and "DSCN" in the replace.
Now execute it. This will also change the case for the thumbs, so we'll fix that in a minute.
Now put "jpg" in the find, and "JPG" in the replace.
Execute it.
Now we'll fix the thumbs.
Put "tn_DSCN" in the find and "tn_dscn" in the replace.
Execute it.
Put "_JPG.JPG" in the find, and "_jpg.jpg" in the replace.
Execute it.

That should do it.
