Is there any manual??
( https://www.xyplorer.com/release_24.00.php#VFO can not find `pickall`)
How can I find parameter or other useful options?

Run this through the address bar, and then search for pick.

Code: Select all

help "idh_scripting_comref_get.htm";

I don't open a new thread for it: will it be possible (or is it already) to pick files from more than one folder? Example: I have more than one Screnshoot folders and I want to get the 10 latest from the content of all combined. (It is possible that all 10 are from the same folder, but also they can be scattered.)

Sure, just concatenate your definitions:

Code: Select all

vi:<pick 8.m "Documents\Songs">|<pick 8.m "Documents\Things"> //"Last 8"

Unfortunately it is the last 16, 8 from here and 8 from there. :-(
I was after the last 8 from both folder together, combined. So for example, I modified recently 7 from the Songs and 1 from the Things. For this I was expected something like this:

Code: Select all

vi:<pick 8.m "Documents\Songs|Documents\Things">  //"Last 8"

No, that's not possible.

Or 3-step:
1) vi:<pick 8.m "Documents\Songs">|<pick 8.m "Documents\Things"> //"Last 8"
2) Sort list by date.
3) vi:<pick_list 8.x>
