Selecting multiple folders from list in txt file

[Minka_1579]

Hi,
I have a list in list.txt file of folders that I want to select from large number of folders in panel.
How do I do it ? I can' t use Ctrl and click as list is not small and it will take a lot of time.
Is it possible to do it ?

Menu Mark > Load Selection from File is probably what you're looking for.

Thank you, but nothing happens, probably I have got it wrong listed in my list.txt file (vertical list with names of the folders that I want to select). Can you please explain how should I list properly my desired folders in that txt file, thank you, kind regards.

IIRC the list should contain names only, but no paths, neither relative nor absolute.

Do those names should be separated by something ? Because when I have got only names, it is not selecting anything.

[Gral]

Folder names should end with a backslash!

[Dalai]

The list file should contain one name per line. Directory names need to have a trailing backslash.

You can also generate such a list file with Mark > Save Selection to File, to find out these pieces of information.

You're right, the format of the list is as follows [btw the same as for the files, where also only names are stored]:

Code: Select all

folder_one\
folder_three\
folder_two\

So the option in question works only if a user enters the parent directory where the folders [or files] in the list reside.

edit There have come some new messages here while I was typing, so my message doesn't make much sense, sorry.

On the contrary, it was helpful to me, thank you for that example with code,
