not a bug - question from a newbie - how to select only even numbered files

Post by DBaxter »

Hi,

I'm a recent convert to xyplorer and love it!

1) How can I select only even numbered files? I tried *0.jpg,*2.jpg,*4.jpg,*6.jpg,*8.jpg in the funnel box (tried separating with commas and also with semicolons) and I only get the results for the first search item in the string I provided.

2) Is there a checkbox option for selecting files?

Thanks!
Dave

Hi!

1) You're close. Open the Selection Filter (Ctrl+M), paste your pattern: *0.jpg;*2.jpg;*4.jpg;*6.jpg;*8.jpg, and press OK.

2) Sure: Tools | Customize List | Checkbox Selection

To make it work for any file type, you can use this: *0.*;*2.*;*4.*;*6.*;*8.* (but beware, it might select too much if you have files with more than one dot in the name).
