I am facing this problem even outside Renamer, so this may be actually an OS issue.
I have a pen drive.
If I want to only change the case of a file name, I am not able to do that.
The command fails silently.
But if I move the same files to any other hard disk (intrernal/external), it works.
To make this work on the pen drive, I have to insert/delete a character, and change the case in a single operation, the renaming works.
After that, I have to reverse the additional change I made, in a subsequent operation.
This is happening on two PCs that are totally dissimilar:
My desktop has 32-bit Professional version of Windows 10.
My laptop has 64-bit home edition of Windows 10.
What could be the reason?

BTW I just noticed that if I try to insert a space at the end of the name, it does not work.
It accepts the space anywhere in the middle of the name.

These are OS and file system limitations.
Do not end a file or directory name with a space or a period.

On top of that, different file systems may handle the case changes differently. Most pen drive use FAT32 for compatibility reasons, which is an ancient file system with a whole bunch of limitations and quite different handling of case sensitive changes.

Spot on!
The drive is FAT 32. Will change the formatting to see if that helps.
Thanks a lot for the tips!
