+[8.50b1]Can't mark files by extensions, if it contains &

Post by *Biozynotiker »

Can't mark files by extensions, if it contains a semicolon.

Example:
Press "ALT"+"NUM+" on "Filename.txt;123"
TC > should mark all "*.txt;124" files.
TC instead mark no files or all "*.txt" files.

This happends on TC 8.01 also btw.

Sir_SiLvA,
Same extension selection function should work with any extension, even with such strange one.
BTW if I use doublequoted mask "*.txt;123" in selection dialog, TC selects correct files.

@Sir_Silva

Look at the Internet Explorer Cache for example, there are tons of such files.

The problem is that ";" is currently used like the space to separate multiple extensions from each other. Maybe I can solve it by using double quotes when calling the function.

Agree, it should be a good solution to quote names for Alt+Num+.
