How to select a group of files with just one key?

[metaforce]

Let's say I have a group Pictures with the extensions of the all major picture formats. How could I select that group with just one key instead opening the dialog window below every time? Basically, is there a shortcut to select all picture files from a folder using just one key?

there is a command "SELECTFILES <*.ext *.ex2>" for which you can create a button. I guess you could somehow make shortcut for that also with EM_ commands

Unfortunatelly SELECTFILES seems to not support group (Bug or by Design). If you use SELECTFILES >Pictures all files will be selected instead of only the Pictures. The command CD >Pictures only show the pictures... As an Alternative you could make a command that filter the wanted files and then select all files...

Or ask in Bug section that SELECTFILES does not support file group !

Looks like a bug - I will check it!

Thanks, that worked. I added all common picture formats. Actually the goal was to select all pictures in a folder (using groups of files or not).

Using
SELECTFILES >Pictures
With "Pictures" a saved search should now work with RC3, please test it!

Also there are variations which are used like this:
SELECTFILESDL (here: only directories, left side)

Meaning:
D: select only directories
B: select both files and directories
U: do not expand existing selection, clear first
L: left side
R: right side
T: target side
S: if shift pressed then toggle "folders" option
