Hello everybody !
is it possible to make a multiple query with Freecommander ?
I tried :
.avi* .mpg* .mpeg* .mpg* .wmm*.wm*.wmv* .mswmm*
but it does not seem to work...
Thank you

Have you tried to search in the help-file? Even the old english help-file has this explanation:
You can make use of the standard placeholder characters which have become a standard in most Operating Systems when searching for file names:
"*" (asterisk) represents an unspecified fragment of text
"?" (question mark) represents exactly one character or digit.
You can put such a placeholder anywhere you like within a search criterion. You can even specify multiples of them and mix them. You can also specify multiple search criteria by separating them with a ";" (semicolon), i.e. "*.txt;*.doc" will search for files with the extensions ".txt" or ".doc".

There is something wrong in your list!
I tried in my folders and it works.
You have *.mpg twice, and there is a blank betreen * and .mswmm.
I don't know if it's the reason but why don't you start with "*.avi;*.mpg" and look what happens. If it works try more extensions.
