Hi everybody,

I have 2 littles sugestions for Total commander.

1. Adding the possibility to search several folder in the same time like this :
Search : obj; bin return all obj or bin folders.

2. For the select function, it would be nice when we call cm_renameSingleFile to select only filename(done), filename + ext (done) and only extention (to do).

Thank you

1. If you need to find folders, just check corresponding attribute in advanced search options.

2. When just name is selected w/o extension, you may try to press Right key to remove selection (cursor remains before dot) and then Shift+End to select dot with extension (press Right twice to skip dot).

Thank to answer so fast but I'm a bit confuse.

1. If I want to find all folder « obj », I just need to write « obj » in the « Search for : » field. No need to check attribute Directory.
What can I do if I want, in one request, find all obj & bin folder.
I have try to check « Directory » but It doesn't work when I write : «bin; obj »

2. Yes I know that but the method I describe is faster and allow easier to change only extention.

Thank you

Try

Code: Select all

*bin *obj
or

Code: Select all

bin* obj*
Searching for "bin; obj" finds only files or directories containing exactly the string "bin; obj"
