How to select multiple files in different folders using "Load Selection from File"

[netsonicyxf]

This is the simple example, there are 4 files
C:\Users\YXF\Desktop\1\1\1.TXT
C:\Users\YXF\Desktop\1\1\2.TXT
C:\Users\YXF\Desktop\1\2\3.TXT
C:\Users\YXF\Desktop\1\2\4.TXT

Under either Ctrl-B or normal mode, I use "Load Selection from File", the file contains the following:
C:\Users\YXF\Desktop\1\1\1.TXT
C:\Users\YXF\Desktop\1\2\3.TXT

But none is selected.

So how to select multiple files in different folders using "Load Selection from File"?

After Ctrl+B, the path of the parent directory should be cut off in the list.
But now it's easier to load a list of necessary files via LOADLIST than to suffer with Ctrl+B.

I removed the path and kept the file name only, but it still doesn't work under Ctrl-B mode.

You don't need to cut off the entire path, but only the working directory.

This will not exactly mark the files, but a button with this command will open a search result with only the files in listfile.txt.

Code: Select all

LOADLIST drive:\path\listfile.txt

Where listfile holds the filenames with full path and drive like:
C:\Users\YXF\Desktop\1\1\1.TXT
C:\Users\YXF\Desktop\1\2\3.TXT


If you want to select files in a branch View (Ctrl+B) you can use a button with:

Code: Select all

LOADSELECTION drive:\path\listfile.txt

But then the drive and path up til and including the current path when you press Ctrl+B has to be removed from the irems in tn listfile.txt
For example:
Desktop\1\1\1.TXT
Desktop\1\2\3.TXT

if you are in C:\Users\YXF when you press Ctrl+B
