Type Stat and Filter Multi-Choice/Check mark

It would be nice to be able to have a check mark option next to the extension choices in the drop down and a "ok" button to leave the drop down.

This is actually planned. There is already a script here in the forum that provides this. Don't remember the name right now.

Wow. I am stunned. Wish I had come across these 2 scripts earlier 
This doesn't just help me to get over the missing "Show in Groups" view that I use elsewhere to select whole sets in one go, it is actually MUCH better.
My CTBs are piling up. Need to get a grip on how to trigger them more efficiently.
Is is possible to incorporate scripts into the dropdowns of existing default buttons? Like, say, the right-click menu of the Visual Filter button?

No, but you can pack countless scripts in any single CTB.

Thanks. I remember having read about it and seen examples here in the forum. Needs research ..admin wrote:No, but you can pack countless scripts in any single CTB.
Goes to show you cannot afford to skip the forum. Almost impossible, though, to keep track of new threads when I am back at work next week.

@Stef, It should be pretty simple:
Code: Select all
"Script 1"
Load "script1.xys";
"Script 2"
//script goes here...
..

A small variation:
If you've currently selected a file (that has an extension) the extension for it will be preselected in the selection window.
Otherwise (file without extension / folder) nothing is preselected.
Code: Select all
$preSel = ("<curext>" != "") ? replace(formatlist(report("{Dir |*.{Ext}}|"), "dents"), "*.<curext>", "+*.<curext>") : formatlist(report("{Dir |*.{Ext}}|"), "dents");
selfilter inputselect("Choose the file type(s) to select...", $preSel, "|", 2, , , , "Select by type");
Otherwise (file without extension / folder) nothing is preselected.
