Using the 'Title Case' function in Calibre has a problem with pluralised hyphenated titles - e.g. "Aesop's Fables", which after using becomes "Aesop'S Fables".

Given how frequently the metadata Calibre pulls from has the titles annoyingly lowercased this casing feature becomes rather less useful than it otherwise should be given the frequency of "'s" is in book titles.

I found a thread from a year ago on this which discussed the why but the proposed solution was left unaswered and unimplemented:

Any chance this will be revisited? Or is there another way of working around this?

Another option I would like to see offered is "Proper Case", which is where the first letter of every word is uppercased, i.e. don't try to be clever with words like "a" and "the".

Many thanks for your response.
