It is already there
Right click. Change case, Select "Title case" (fix the "xyz'S" mess-up if apostrophe).
Hint the same works for Author, Series fields

I am making all my titles & Authors mixed case... so I have to re-type many of them. Any chance of getting a button (for title & author) which does a 'convert to mixed case'? (i.e. First letter of each word in Caps, the rest in lower case)

Fix
one, then highlight ALL that need to be the same.
Click "Edit Metadata" (now in bulk mode)
Select the correct author from the pull-down.
be sure to tick the author sort box.
OK

Along the same line, when I convert the Author to mixed case and then hit the Author Sort entry button, it does not switch to lower case if the only change was in the Case. I fix it by adding a single new character to the author... do the author sort and then delete the extra character form both (a pain, but it works) It would be nice if the button worked even if the entries are the same except for case.
I have a lot of entries with author as LastName, FirstName. A function would be nice to reverse this.

That one is only available on import. See second answer solution
BTW The filename not changing case is a Windows/DOS thing... case insensitive file names. (but you are not supposed to be peeking under the skirts anyhow
)
