Select file based on extension?

#1 Post by Nova » 15.04.2009, 15:02

I (was) an user of xplorer2, before I discovered FreeCommander.
Now, a feature that I'm missing is to be able to select a file based on the extension of the file itself (not on the name). In xplorer2, I can press shift and start typing, and the first matching file with the extension I'm typing is selected.

For instance, typing: {Shift}+v would select a file .vbp.

Is there a way to do this in FC?
Any idea?

Thanks
Marco

did you try quick filters (the textbox on the bottom-right corner of each panel)? maybe it's not fast as xplorer2, but it's good

Yes: I've seen quick filters, and I like that feature really much!
But... it's ...too much (!) IMHO only to select a file based on the extension: for instance, selecting a .vbp (that is the only one in the folder with the extension beginning with .v) would be:

- xplorer2: Shift + v

- FreeCommander: CTRL+Y (quick filter) + .vbp (ok), and then clear quick filter again.

Maybe this could be a suggestion for a new feature?
Thanks
