Image Title: capitals or not

[stagonolepis2085]

If the image title is entered, the initial letter of a word is changed. This causes some trouble, because a small letter is converted to upper case, if it is a single word.
If words are connected with a hyphen, it is vice versa. Is there a chance to switch off this automatism. It may cause confusion because german language is case sensitive. Same wording can have total different meaning depending from use of lower and upper case letters.

Example of what is happening: Veranstaltung im 7 Stern-Braeu - Veranstaltung Im 7 Stern-braeu

-> Upload Image - Upload File from your Computer:

-> Image Title - Please enter a title for your file:

That is what I enter: "Veranstaltung im 7 Stern-Braeu"

and that is the result after file is uploaded: "Veranstaltung Im 7 Stern-braeu"

If I correct it before files are processed, result is the same, final description will be: "Veranstaltung Im 7 Stern-braeu".

I can only correct wrong upper or lower case letters it if I edit the image via "Image Tools - Edit Image" - but then there is the other problem.

Well in normal operation I would not see an issue with this but if your having an issue with your foreign language you could try in your upload.php file in the gallery directory either comment out with two // or delete this line and see if that helps

This eliminates conversion while files are uploaded, next step is processing the files - and afterwards still lower cases are converted to upper cases and vice versa.

By the way: English is my foreign language.

Is this title or is this filename? There are three areas where I beleive where ucwords is used

upload.php
functions_gallery_imageedit.php
vba_gallery_admin.php

It is always the "Image Title" were letters are changed.

As far as I have understood "ucwords(strtolower($massimageinfo['title'])" converts first letter to an upper case letter and all other letters to lower case ones. And that is happening: "IBM" is converted to "Ibm".

I have found "ucwords" in the above mentioned files and commented it out. Now it seem´s to be ok.

Thank you for helping.
