This tool will show Titles, Original Titles and Rating Details that mat be incorrectly capitalized in your collection.

It can show you the possible incorrectwords:


Or it can show you how it thinks it should be capitalized:


When you double click on an entry, the profile in question will be selected in DVD Profiler.
In addition, you have some options:


Easiest option is to check both Open profile for editing and Update fields automatically, but it's up to you how you chose to use the program.

Very handy tool, thank you.

I was just wondering, with regards to the list of words that will not be capitalized, did you consider the case when those words were followed by a colon?

For example, in the screenshots above, the TV series "As Time Goes By: ..." is listed as incorrect.

I realise the program is following the Invelos title tool results, but the colon is typically not present on the cover, rather, it is the title followed by a descriptor on another line (and we separate them by a colon and space in the title field, as per rules).

The use of a colon makes the descriptor a subordinate title, however, the Invelos title tool cannot distinguish the primary title from the subordinate title. Had the rules stipulated we use a hyphen, semi-colon or parenthesis as the line separator, the Invelos title tool would be able to capitalize the primary title correctly.

For the exclusive list of words not to be capitalized, is it possible to capitalize these words if it precedes a colon (on the presumption it is the last word of the primary title)?

As always: Excellent Program. Now if it could make the correction for you, if you want. But, I'm happy knowing where the problems are and being able to open the profile for editing.

If you check those two last checkboxes in the settings, double-clicking will make the correction. You'll still have to accept it by clicking OK, though. I hesitated to take it any further than that, since I didn't want any unintended changes to slip through.

I will check that out further. I did check those boxes, but still had to make the change myself. I am good though. Your program found several issues with capitalization...Excellent.

I'm not 100% sure if I take colon into consideration, but the main problem with "As Time Goes By" is that "by" is (incorrectly) listed in the settings among the words that should not be capitalized. My mistake.

There was no mistake made, its the Invelos title tool that is misinterpreting the title capitalization when a colon is present in the title.

Your list of uncapitalized words are accurate, they are indeed not capitalised when embedded within a movie/TV title, as long as it is not the first or last word in a title (which are always capitalized).

The problem with the Invelos title tool is that it treats the title name and title name: differently when the word before the colon is in your list of uncapitalized words.

For example:

"as time goes by"  ==> As Time Goes By
"as time goes by:" ==> As Time Goes by:      <== any last word IN the list are uncapitalized

If I switch the last two words:
"as time by goes"  ==> As Time by Goes
"as time by goes:" ==> As Time by Goes:      <== any last word NOT in the list are capitalized

Seems to me the Invelos title tool is treating the colon as a continuation mark in the title, so the preceding word is no longer the last word in the title.

Is it possible to capitalize the words in the list when followed by a colon?

I checked and it works as intended for me.

Ah, I see what you mean. I guess I'm making the same mistake. I considered everything in the title field to be a single title. So, if I understand you correctly, for capitalization purposes anything followed by a colon should be capitalized as if it were a last word?

I think it should be anything following a colon will be treated as a new title (with first and last words capitalized). If there are multiple colons, then there will be multiple titles to be capitalized. The first and last word in each title should always be capitalized.

However, the Invelos title tool does not follow this rule absolutely for the last word in each title. If the last word is in your list of uncapitalized words and is followed by a colon, it will be uncapitalized by the tool.


Let me demonstrate with this made-up example where the words (by, and, the, out) from your list of uncapitalized words are used:

The front cover displays the title over multiple lines
__________________________________
        As Time Goes By                    <== this is the primary title
The Complete Series Four and Out    <== this is a subordinate title
        And No Way Out                      <== this is a subordinate title
__________________________________

The rules state we use a colon and space for separate lines in the cover title, thus we enter the three titles as one title:
  As Time Goes By: The Complete Series Four and Out: And No Way Out

On the other hand, the invelos title tool displays:
  As Time Goes by: The Complete Series Four and out: And No Way Out

Note how the word (and, out) is uncapitalized in the second title line but are capitalized in the third title line.

Had Invelos stipulated we use for line separators a semi-colon or hyphen, the result from the Invelos title tool would look as follows:
•  As Time Goes By; The Complete Series Four and Out; And No Way Out
•  As Time Goes By - The Complete Series Four and Out - And No Way Out

In summary, I believe the Invelos title tool uses the colon to demarcate subordinate titles, but comes unstuck when one of the words in your uncapitalized word list is a last word in a title followed by a colon, in which case, the tool leaves it as uncaptalized (when it should be capitalized).

That is why I asked whether it was possible to capitalize the words in your list when it was followed by a colon (to ensure the last word in a title was always capitalized).

Hope that provided more clarity on the matter.

PS: Just saw your latest software update in response to my request, ta. At least I have provided more detail into the background of the issue.
