How can I select all files with the same name ?

[georges]

I think it may be useful to add theses shortcuts :
SHIFT+ALT+NUM + select all files with the same name
SHIFT+ALT+NUM - remove selection from files with the same name

This can be done via some script which you can assign to every hotkey. First, copy into the clipboard the file name, then remove its extension, call the TC function for selectiong the files, insert the name there and press OK. I don't use scripts for TC, so I cannot write the full code. Maybe, someone else will.

I have created a little AutoHotkey-script, only downside is that it doesn't work in branch view till now. When there is enough interest I'll do that, too. Feedback please...

Code: Select all

$!+NumpadAdd::
IfWinActive, ahk_class TTOTAL_CMD
{
  clipboard_backup := ClipboardAll
  SendMessage 1075, 2017, , , A ; Copy Selection To Clipboard
  selection_backup := ClipboardAll
  SendMessage 1075, 524, , , A ; Unselect all
  SendMessage 1075, 2017, , , A ; Copy Filename To Clipboard
  dot_position := InStr(clipboard, ".", 0, 0) - 1
  StringLeft, filename, clipboard, dot_position
  If filename = 
    filename := clipboard
  clipboard := selection_backup
  SendMessage 1075, 2033, , , A ; Restore Selection From Clipboard
  clipboard := filename
  PostMessage 1075, 521, , , A ; Spread Selection
  Send, ^v*{Enter}
  Sleep, 1000
  clipboard := clipboard_backup
}
Else
  Send, !+{NumpadAdd}
Return


$!+NumpadSub::
IfWinActive, ahk_class TTOTAL_CMD
{
  clipboard_backup := ClipboardAll
  SendMessage 1075, 2017, , , A ; Copy Selection To Clipboard
  selection_backup := ClipboardAll
  SendMessage 1075, 524, , , A ; Unselect all
  SendMessage 1075, 2017, , , A ; Copy Filename To Clipboard
  dot_position := InStr(clipboard, ".", 0, 0) - 1
  StringLeft, filename, clipboard, dot_position
  If filename = 
    filename := clipboard
  clipboard := selection_backup
  SendMessage 1075, 2033, , , A ; Restore Selection From Clipboard
  clipboard := filename
  PostMessage 1075, 522, , , A ; Shrink Selection
  Send, ^v*{Enter}
  Sleep, 1000
  clipboard := clipboard_backup
}
Else
  Send, !+{NumpadSub}
Return

Thanks for your script icfu, it's working.
But perhaps Christian ghisler should add these shorcuts & commands inside Total Commander :
SHIFT+ALT+NUM : cm_SelectCurrentName=nnn;Select all files with same name.
SHIFT+ALT+NUM : cm_UnselectCurrentName=nnn;Unselect all files with same name.

Perhaps it could be useful for some users.

Listen i'm using home 6.52 version of TC i have configured the Colors for some extension types and for me it works like no problem when i stand with cursor on *mp3 and i press "*" it select only *.mp3 or the same *.zip, this is alsou when i select the colored files or non, so whats the problem how can it work like this so sinmple ....

ManDark,
Same name, not same extension.

For example, sometimes I have to delete a multiple file archive like filename.RAR ... filename.xxx in a directory containing others multiple file archives.
So I think this command would be useful.

One solution today:
make a button/starter menu entry/directory hotlist entry with
command: cd
parameters: .\%O.*

0th: cursor on the wished file
1st: press button - only files with names of file will be shown
2nd: press CTRL+A (mark all files)
3rd: make what you want to do
4th: don't forget to press CTRL+F10 (all files will be shown again)

[georges]

thanks norfie for your solution.

I've tried also with the Expand Selection / Define Solution / Plugins
but i don't find a solution with the field "value". %O is not reconized as a special parameter.

%O is only recognized in the places norfie explained...
