Description H.H. 2017-07-01 11:36:05 UTC 
kate allows the \L modifier in single search & replace operations like
search: ="\w+\.(HTM|JPG|GIF)"
replace: \L\0
which replaces all strings like ="MYFILE.HTM" to ="myfile.htm"

The \L modifier does not work when using the batch-replacing-operation.

Please support this!

What exactly do you mean by batch-replacing-operation?
Comment 2 H.H. 2019-07-02 18:22:56 UTC 
I mean the operation on multiple files, it seems to be from an extension ("Search & Replace")

Hi 

I fixed this some time a go, but did not find this report then.... At least fixed in Kate 19.04
