Sentence case titles by default

warwickmm
The conversion of titles to sentence case (right-click on title -> Sentence Case) seems to be much improved compared to a year or two ago. Is there a reason why this sentence casing isn't applied automatically when adding a new item (either via the connector or the magic wand)?

    yeah, because it requires manual check for proper nouns.

    I see, thanks. I was thinking that if the recommendation is to store things in sentence case, then a typical workflow would be to

    1. Add an entry.
    2. Right-click -> Sentence Case.
    3. Fix capitalizations.

    and that Step 2 could be automated. But I can see that some people might not want that.

    The Linter plugin (https://github.com/northword/zotero-format-metadata) now provides this capability.
