Handle all capitals in givename and district fields #43

Open archerbarrie opened 8 years ago

archerbarrie commented 8 years ago

Currently, even if the capitals option is selected, it is not possible to enter the givenname and district in capitals. In order to follow the TWYS rule transcribers have to post-edit the file produced in order to follow the letter case in these fields. Some method is required to overcome this.

Concur but was fixed in 1.0.7? see closed Comment 19

If it was fixed in 1.0.7 (as per issue #19) it has resurfaced in 1.0.9.

I believe that the principle should be that whatever "help" the software gives transcribers by why of adjusting the font style, there should be a way to enter data without it being changed. We don't know all the formats that transcribers will find so to enforce particular formats, without a a "no change" option, is always going to be a problem in some circumstances.
