 |
|
OK, I just ran into this problem and I'm shocked to see there are still issues to be worked out with the rename command. I have a list of files that have both .mp3 and .MP3 extensions (notice the case difference), when I do:
| Code: | | rename .MP3 .mp3 *.MP3 |
The file extensions are not affected at all as if rename cannot tell the difference between upper and lower case. Any leads as to where one can go to report this bug?

For me it works perfectly. Which filesystem type are the files on? Note that the *.MP3 list is expanded by the shell and not by the rename command. If you run
you get the right files?

It's on an ext3 partition that's being shared through SAMBA, well maybe it has something to do with SAMBA... Interesting... 
I'll keep investigating on this issue and write more as I find out.
