Normal topicException broke after updating

Hi,

I updated the application to the latest version and now my Case action does not work as expected.

I have "ft." and "vs." in titles that I want to be lower case. But in the preferences pane I can't add "." to the Title Case exception list.
My action worked before updating so there must be something that has changed?
I don't remember what I had there before but I think the "." got removed for some reason?

Thanks,
Nick

Could anyone suggest me what I have to do?
I want to have "vs." and "ft." to remain in lowercase

In your General Exception set (the one marked with a checkmark) create items as in the following screenshot

Txs, it worked. I had these in "Title Case" instead of General.
What's the function of the "Title Case" exception list?

The Title Case list is a list of all words which are to be treated as 'exceptions' by the algorithm. However the algorithm causes the first and last words in a sentence to be capitalized even if they are an exception. Abbreviations mess things up as they end with a period (.).

The next release will allow you to mark a word in the Title Case list as an abbreviation. This will operate even better than the General Exception method I told you to use for now as there is more information supplied.
