Show files - by colors only

[aleksazr]

I would like to display only the files that are meaningful to me.

I've created the file list with Configuration, Options, Color, Define colors by file type
and would like to show those files only.

Cheers

You can defined ignore list to hide files you don't need to see, go to Configuration> Ignore list page, in that page press Help button for more details.

Easiest way is to use filter (Show - Custom..., Ctrl+F12) - it will allow to use same mask or template like in Define colors by type dialog.

Ignoring will require to invert mask and ignored files won't be copied/moved/deleted.

+1 to aleksazr request. May be I'm dumb, but all replies to his request are unacceptable and ridiculous - they DON'T solve his problem.
One checkbox on toolbar could be nice to quickly switch from ALL/COLORED modes.

With CD command you can use any user-defined or fixed filter!
e.g.:
CD *.exe *.dll *.vbx
or
CD >Executables
(assuming you have defined filter with name "Executables")
You can use CD command directly in Start Menu or in custom commands.

Is this "unacceptable and ridiculous" too?

@Gral, Interesting...
I hadn't thought of trying to use a filter like that.

So on the toolbar, button this works:
Command: CD *.exe *.xml
OR
Command: CD >LargeFiles

Where "LargeFiles" was a prior filter set to show any file >= 2MB.

Pardon me asking, but I never thought of trying this before:
How can I select two templates? Is it possible?

Ex:
1. I have >Archives, >Documents, >Pictures
2. Press CTRL+F12.
3. Select >Archives
4. Add |>Documents (typed that, can't seem to SHIFT or CTRL click to include)
5. Pictures (actually everything) still shows (ie like CTRL+F10)

I can't get that to work, with + or & or just a space...
I'm pretty sure TC would use the "|" bar as an exclusion.

So CD *.exe | test*.exe
---- Would show all exe files that aren't named "test*"

This also works for inline filters on the ButtonBar:
----> CD *.exe + *.txt

Maybe this could be suggested to work with saved filters:
----> CD >Binary + >Text

mame, you can't mix templates, you can only specify single template.

For inspiration - here are the filters I use in my extended menus:

mame, you can't mix templates, you can only specify single template.

That's what I guess. Thanks for clarification.

Matt.
