All my digikam photo images have names in upper case, is there any
easy way to copy these to the dokuwiki data/media directory and refer
to them from dokuwiki without changing all their names to lower case?

Changing the names to lower case need not be painful. What's youroperating system? If it is Linux then you can easily convert the case ofthe files using something like this (assuming shell is bash):


$ for i in * ;\
  do \
    j=$(tr [:upper:] [:lower:] <<< "${i}") ;\
    mv --verbose "${i}" "${j}" ;\
  done

If you are going to do this repeatedly on the same directory then youmay want to avoid the warnings about files that are already lower-caseso you can make the "for" loop only match files that have a leadingupper case letter:


$ for i in [[:upper:]]* ;\
  do \
    j=$(tr [:upper:] [:lower:] <<< "${i}") ;\
    mv --verbose "${i}" "${j}" ;\
  done

And anyone that is really keen could also write the "tr" rule to foldcharacters like space to the wiki-safe alternative of a single "_" - arough approximation would be:


$ for i in [[:upper:]]* ;\
  do \

j=$(tr [:upper:] [:lower:] <<< "${i}" | tr --squeeze-repeats"[:punct:][:blank:]" "[_*]") ;\

    mv --verbose "${i}" "${j}" ;\
  done
