Is it possible to display selected files in the Commander Window

Hi

Thanks for your quick response. I was afraid that was the case/

if any of the below makes a difference I am the person you made CommandeerCD for so that ALT-F4 quits to the directory displayed on the current "window"

In addition if the below are not too involved to accomplish would it be possible to:
someway to not use recycle bin if you don't want to or does holding the Shift key accomplish that?
have the current directory of each drive be remembered so when copying from one drive to another all you need to do is type the drive letter and the program copies the data to the current directory on that drive
when sorting if you sort the second time can the sort be reversed. That is initially it sorts ascending but if you were to press the same key combination a second time it would sort descending
allow it to have the option to quit to the current directory that is being displayed (ALT-F4 in the version you created for me) in the active window or have a key (perhaps ESC) return you to where the BAT file was started from
is it possible to make ALT-letter switch to that drive letter and current directory. for example ALT+X would switch to the X drive and its current directory. or perhaps have CTRL-D display the current directory for the various drives not the root as it currently does
if all or some of the above can easily be done I would be happy to contribute whatever you feel is fair

thank you

hi

thanks for the response. thank you for considering what I mentioned. I am serious when I said I would contribute

ed

one mask at a time would be enough unless you feel multiple makes sense from a design standpoint. for example think of the DIR command and that would be all that was needed for me.
dir *.cob
dir as*.asm
dir ???driver.*
etc.

if the command line at the bottom could control what is displayed in the window that would make it for my need

thanks

thank you for your response

I looked at what you mentioned and while I can see its use it is not really what I am looking for. Having the ability to have all files displayed that match a certain "mask" allows you to use all the power of Commander on that subset of files. I use it to mage directories with over a thousand files so the ability to work with a subset of files would be great. Also, as I mentioned earlier,  being able to reverse the sort order would be helpful; as well.

thanks

Hi

I gave it a try

I think I may not have done something correctly

to do the filter I used CTRL-F6. I attached to screen prints one has the new option off and one has the new option on. The option when it is off seems to not show all the names that match the partial name I input.

thank you

I did a test in de Commander directory, omm matches Commander like files but Com does not match.
Changing the file name into lowercase works.
Perhaps the filter uppercase is changed into lowercase and then it does not match when case sensitive is used?
I have a wildcard matching function which supports * ? and [] set, you can use it if you want, i copied it somewhere from internet and use it myself.

Did type this before Michael but posted it later

The filter works for the left panel, the right panel works the old way.

Just some thoughts.
Is it a filter or a order, it depends on the option Show only filter matches.
One fits the View menu, the other the Order menu...

In most cases a simple match would do ( which is faster... ) but most file filters work with wildcards as in Find or compare files.

Since Ed started this topic i hope he puts his thoughts about it

hi is there any chance the above might be possible

thank you
ed

thank you. is this feature in the current download it has been awhile since I updated my copy?
also does the current download have the change you made a few years back to allow "quitting" to the current directory for me?

one last thing is that the ZIP DLL seems to have difficulty with ZIPS over 2gis in size
