Morning All

I have quite a few albums from artists that have an apostrophe in their surname. Once I have capitalised the MP3's the letter immediately after the apostrophe is in lower case, whereas it should be a capital letter.

Would someone please be so kind as to make an action for me whereas this can be performed correctly.

Thanking You

Steve

You can define which characters define word boundaries in the dialog for the Case Conversion action.  
Enter the apostrophe there plus all the other characters like space, punctuation etc.

I would be careful with that action and apply it really only in selected cases - there are artists around like  
Maarten 't Hart  
Ball 'n' Chain  
Guns 'n Roses  
The Men They Couldn't Hang  
N'to

How about Mc or Mac without the apostrophe and the next letter should be a capital
