Hello,
somebody can explain me how Flat Select works in XYP 15 ? I cannot find any precise information .

This is an extension of Spot and Jump.

Now in the address bar you can enter '>>>Beyoncè' to select all items in the list pane containing 'Beyoncè'.
It's like selection filters from the address bar.

This thread has some more details: http://www.xyplorer.com/xyfc/viewtopic. ... 59#p117659

EDIT: Also from the change log:

Code: Select all

v14.80.0221 - 2015-01-30 14:38
. . .
    + Spot and Jump: Added an additional mode "Select", marked by the prefix 
      >>>. So now you can select items by entering match patterns right from the 
      Address Bar. Multiple patterns separated by | are allowed.
      Examples:
        >>>Beyoncè      //select all items matching *Beyoncè* 
        >>>ko|cha       //select all items matching *ko* or *cha*
        >>>ko*|*.txt    //select all items matching ko* or *.txt
      Remarks:
        - This setting is honored by Select: "Configuration | Menus, Mouse, 
          Safety | Type Ahead Find | Ignore diacritics".
        - The other settings under "Configuration | Menus, Mouse, 
          Safety | Type Ahead" Find are ignored.
        - En passant, the "Select" toolbar button got a flatter icon.
        - And yeah, a cool new flat way to select stuff!

    + Flat Select: Added Status Bar message.
    * Flat Select: Does not toggle selections anymore when repeating the same 
      pattern. It's better to have a context-independent effect here.
    * Flat Select: Does not highlight matches anymore. Reduce info overkill.
    > Flat Select Tip: This line will unselect all:
        >>>

I found the topic but I cannot make it works ???

Should I have E:\images >>>dog or only >>>dog ?

Only the latter: >>>dog

Don felt the former was too exotic so you cannot browse & select in one entry.
You must browse: E:\images<enter>
Then select: >>>dog<enter>

Just finished the docs: http://www.xyplorer.com/release_15.00.htm#FlatSelect

I've missed the "enter" thing. Thanks a lot. And for newbie people like me Shift+Ctrl+J shows only selected files. Thanks a lot.

I was to fast to test it :-) You should add the "enter" thing as it's not so obvious - I'm used to see automatic selectied files showing with other programs.

Just done.
