Don't know if this question can be explained, but will try in easy way:

currently, in FC, if you click View -> sort by -> Name (cntrl+f3), files and folders are sorted by name but folders are displayed on top (or bottom) and not in between the files. I call this step (a)
If you then choose View ...

Thanks!

I tried it, and it works well :)

but, if FC needs to first convert every pdf it needs to search ...

The search function (within PDF files) use the text converter program xdoc2txt.exe
You can see and test how it works in the viewer https://freecommander.com/fchelpxe/en/Converter.html.
If the search function has to search for a text in a pdf file, then it first converts the pdf file into a text ...

I need a good tool to search contents within a bunch of PDF files. Not looking for search for file name, but actually search in the contents of these pdf files for a specific word (term).

I thought this is possible with a plugin but only with a pro version of FC, right?

Since I am considering ...

Great!!!!

Great! Is this also available already in the public release?

It's a misunderstanding, you can't add anything to main menu, you need to type "without" in the quick filter field - right above the OK/Cancel buttons, just to find that item easier and to add the toolbar button - and it's just the off topic item - "Copy name without extension as text". That's why ...

I think, you are right, but also a lot people (like me), use FC as a tool and do not want/like to spend a lot of time configuring it. Easy/populair/handy functions should be available in the menu (drop down menu) by default when installation is done by default (a lot of people just click on OK ...

Is it possible to only move/copy the file structure (hierarchie) without moving/copying the files in it?

Right, it's missing in menu, all options should be in menu, if possible.

You can find it in the address bar copy button submenu, you can create a toolbar button or/and assign a keyboard shortcut too.


With all due respect, for me thats too much config to perform a simple task...

The tip from ...

I think you could use Search->Duplicates for the task.
In the "Location" tab define
File name: *.rtf;*.pdf
Search in Folders: Path1;Path2
If all files are in one folder then use only Path1.

In the "Duplicates" tab activate "Find duplicate files" and "Same file name (without extension)"

As ...

- open filter dialog Alt+Y
- as filter mask use: ^[^.]*$
- check Regular Expression box

Thanks, that worked.
Could this be implemented in the quickfilter as well?

Implemented in v790:
New action added "Copy name without extension as text"

Maybe you can tell us for what purpose this should serve.
Implementing something that doesn't seem sensible is not really my thing.


The purpose looks simple to me: to be able to compare files with same name but different extension.
Here is the use case:
I had converted a bulk of .rtf files to ...

The quickfilter now does not allow to select files with no extension... could this be created?
