But something similar: Edit->Select->Selection filter .The same can be reached by right-clicking the "Select" toolbar button
infotip of Selection filter wrote:To select by columns other than the name column, prefix the pattern(s) (or RegExp) with '[column name]:', e.g. 'type: image; text' to select all images and text files.
Add a new column for Parental Rating * , and your selection filter can be: Parental Rating: P;PG


-------------
*Add a new column for Parental Rating: Set Details viewmode, or enable Tools -> Config -> Sort and Rename -> Show sort headers in all views.
Now select View -> Columns -> Add Column. A new (Undefined) column will be added. Right-click on it and choose "Select Property" -> find and select "Parental Rating"

Thanks.

"Parental Rating: P;PG" also selects PG-13.

Is there a way to just filter out the unselected items from the view?

BTW, the filter feature in explorer is quite handy. With so many incredibly great features in XYplorer, it would be nice to have this one so that explorer can be forgotten for good :-).

Sorry, Try this:

Code: Select all

Parental Rating: "P";"PG"
