Suggestions for titlecase functionality

Hi, everyone! I have a couple suggestions that would greatly save me time:

1) Being able to select many items and titlecasing them all at once.
2) A lot of papers have "2D","3D" and other acronyms that change to "2d" etc when applying titlecase. There could be a setting for exceptions, with some common acronyms already there.

Is there a reason you're wanting to title-case many items? You should generally store items in sentence case, and the reason you can't do it in bulk is because those titles need to be reviewed for accuracy in terms of proper nouns.

I'm not sure why the title-case option is lowercasing letters within words, though. We'll fix that. (The sentence-case option doesn't do that.)

You have a good argument there, thanks for the link. I rarely use the citation generation feature, maybe a couple times a year. I use Zotero mainly for organizing and renaming a collection of papers. As such, I think titlecase gives me a more "visual" cue about what a paper is about, de-emphasizing the stop words.

This is fixed in the latest Zotero beta, and the fix will be included in a future release.
