[Suggestion] Change Case only before/after a special sign

Suggestion

Case Rule: Apply only before (o) / after ( ) this sign: [ - ]

So we can change the case of the wanted parts of file names like "The Artist - Song name.mp3".

---

Also we could use Insert Rule first to add a special sign like "?" into the file name temporarily, and remove it afterwards again.
(0) ALL UPPER CASE
Apply only before ( ) / after (o) this sign: [? ]

EDIT:

Case Rule: Apply only before (o) / after ( ) / between ( ) two of this sign: [ - ]

Upper and lower case changes can be applied to specific fragments using RegEx case flags:
ReNamer:Regular_Expressions#Upper_case_and_lower_case_manipulations

More sophisticated changes can be applied in PascalScript.

I recognize a need for more precise case adjustments in a user friendly way, but I am wary of adding a large number of options to rules as it can make it difficult to use (understand) for novice users.

OK. Understood.

How about allowing these RegEx case manipulation' for Rearrange Rule too?

Rearrange
---------------------------------------------------
Split using (o)Delimiters
-
New Pattern
\U$1 - $2

[X] Enable RegEx Case Manipulation
---------------------------------------------------

I think this will over-complicate the Rearrange rule.

It's purpose is to provide RegEx-like rearrangement of fragments, while keeping it as simple as possible so novice users could use it too. Adding more options to it will add complexity and will bring it closer to the RegEx rule. I think that is moving away from its original purpose.

Advanced fragment based case manipulations should really be done in RegEx and PascalScript, because we will never be able to accommodate all possible use cases with simplified options.

I find it much more difficult to use (understand) for novice users to have the need to use RegEx or PascalScript,
especially if they don't read the forum, wanted to register to ask, or just take a look at the screenshots of ReNamer.
Most of them just will go away and search elsewhere for an solution.
That's why I think it's more nifty to provide such standard features as an nice GUI for ease use.
