Can you search or filter selected files?

Post by zBernie »

If I select numerous files, is it then possible to search or filter the files in the selected list by file type extension? For example, when I take photos, I may have 100 .jpg and .nef files selected, in a directory which contains thousands. If I select all 100 files, I just want to copy the .nef to a directory.

-Thanks

?

When you just want to copy all of <some extension> in the current folder, why don't you filter the list via the "Type Stats and Filter" button?

I'm selecting 100 files out of thousands in a folder. Then of those 100, I just want the .nef files.

And? Using the popupmenu of that button and choosing the extension you want will
give you all of the items within that directory with that extension but only those,
that were previously selected are still selected. In other words, out of your 200
previously selected items you will now have 100 selected (.nef) items instead...

If that is not viable, write a simple script that only works on the selected items...

That's it! Thank you! I was not aware that button was context sensitive.
