Feature request

[wanderer]

Forgive me if someone has requested this again (if it already exists, please tell me how it's done - i couldn't find it):

ALT + Numpad+ selects all files with the same extension regardless of their names. How about another combination (i.e. CTRL + ALT + Numpad+) to select all files in the listbox with the same name regardless of their extensions?

I like the idea!

Sometimes it could be very useful.

Rare but clever. Count me in!

I just had a problem while trying to search file with an attribute "owner" on NTFS. For now it's impossible. IMHO it could be great if somone'll add this feature to Alt+F7 dialog. More than, adding the seach by an access rights would be greatly useful too.

I don't really mind is this the right place to say about a feature request, but i have not found any other way to say it to TC programmer(s). Is there any other sutable way?

Hi there. Welcome to the forum.

That's the right place for feature requests. I must say your idea is not a bad one. I've faced similar problems in the past (not so often) and it would be nice if such a feature was possible from within TC.

Well, I asked Christian to add this feature about three years ago. May be a couple of years more and we'll see it implemented... %)[/face]

«Patience is the mother of all Virtues»

Waiting for 3+ years to see in a program a (simple) feature you suggested takes a looooooooooooot of patience!

Yes, the term patience doesn’t really apply in technology where everything changes so rapidly. If you don’t do something at the right time, then don’t do it at all. Someone else is waiting around the corner to take the lead.

What do you say about file colors?
Some files (like graphic or sounds) can be trated similar. User can manage his own what files can be selected by one tuch.
Somebody remember Dos Navigator? It has this function.

Task or shortcut: Gry '+' for all files
Ctrl - Gry '+' for files under cursor (by colour)
In same mode for unselect the files but with Gry '-'

NOTE: 4 new members
Gry taste is consacrated term even is 'black'. Old boy know that!!!!!

Hi Eugen,
• The "Gray" key-pack is also called "Numeric", this is less confusing...

Kind regards to all,

Hmmm. That's another interresting idea... Haven't needed it much myself but it could be helpful in some occasions...

Come on! You don’t have to prove yourself to me! I got the joke in the first place; I just wanted to contribute my philosophical side of my character!
