[REQ] Filelist File in 'Search for'

[theosdikaios]

Problem: If I want to search for different files e.g. 'test1.doc something.pdf anybody.txt' I can type this file list to Totalcmds 'Find Files' 'Search for' box. But 'Search for' box is restricted to only 256 characters. That's not enough if I want to search for a lot of files (>100).

Wanted solution: 'Search for' should get its file list from a file which contains the file list.

TIA.

As a workaround, you could also use the Plugins tab and search using tc.name.

Thanks. It's not convenient to generate such a search manually if the #files>20. Therefore I transformed the file list to a search pattern i.e. 'Previous searches' but Totalcmd doesn't import all file names (only 9 entries were imported).

Code: Select all

[Searches]
test_SearchFor=
test_SearchIn=
test_SearchText=
test_SearchFlags=0|000002000020||||||||22220|0000|
test_plugin="tc.name contains "t001.pdf" & tc.name contains "t002.pdf" & ...

I suppose there is a restriction for INI-files lines too.
