Selection filter

[surrender]

I tried the new beta with selection filter and i think its very handy tool. Biig kisses to this.

But there are some issues.

size:? KB -> selects all items < 10 KB

This works only when the size format is set to KB (rounded up). and partly with Flexible (rounded up).

Same might be true with date format selection, but i have not tested it.

Also, is there any way to select files under 100kb, 1mb etc??

No surprise to me. I forgot to mention in the history (just edited it):
"The comparison that results in selections on a match is a case- insensitive string comparison (not number or date comparison)."

Also, is there any way to select files under 100kb, 1mb etc??

Yes, format Size column to display "Raw Bytes", then you can use some RegExp (don't ask me which ) to find all sizes that are smaller than a certain length.

Well, no time to learn RegExp. I will do it via size in find files (its faster that way).

Well here's the necessary selection filter with a RegExp:
"size:>^\d{1,5}$" Finds all files with a size of less than 100000 bytes
(1 to 5 digits in size column)
"size:>^\d{1,4}$" Finds all files with a size of less than 10000 bytes
(1 to 4 digits in size column)
a.s.o.

Thanks for that. Works fine here. I guess its time to learn regexp as i can see how handy it is. .

Sure no problem, and yes, whenever the usual find or search abilities don't satisfy the needs then have a look at RegEx and the good thing is, it's not as difficult as it seems at first.
Have fun with it...

I think this has been mentioned before, there is a good article on the subject at http://www.regular-expressions.info/ which is well worth the read.
