Hi,
You can try these little tools which I have for my personal use. The package contain two addons: A Live filter (only work with files, but it is useful in search list for me) and a Live marker (your request) it work with files & directories.
Know issue: Live marker, clear your clipboard data.

Very nice tools! :D

Live Marker is simple, it just put the filter into the clipboard and send "cm_LoadSelectionFromClip" to TC, But I have a question about Live Filter, How did you make TC update "user current filter"?
I ask because sometime ago i tryied to make such tool, but didn't successed to update TC "current filter"

Very nice tools! Very Happy
I'm glad to heard it, thanks :)
But I have a question about Live Filter, How did you make TC update "user current filter"?
For live filter: I call to an "extended command" (wrote below) with the text between asterisk as parameter.
I try add an optional switch for send the text without asterisk (exact match) and other option for send text with an asterisk before the dot (exact start match)

Really is a dynamic custom filter: cd *text_blabla*

Code: Select all

[em_xxx]
menu=prueba
cmd=cd
Param=%A
button=WCMICONS.DLL,25
BTW: Pipeline can be used for both tools too.

let the user decide that, just send what the user type

it will be better if you merged the two tools in one and offer a checkbox to switch between filtring and selection

Initially I didn't think in release this tools, I only had for my personal use. But Of course, I will consider it. I will try improve the tool according your tips ;) . But until the next week I can`t do anything. lool. When it is modified, I'll write a new post in the plugins and addons forum.
Thanks for your tips and suggestions :)

Anyway, about the theme of the original post, I support+ your request, I would like to view these features built-in TC.
