Total Commander

Hello.

First off I want to thank the developer of this wonderful program, I've been
using for many years now. Without it, my computer wouldn't be a complete
computer for me anymore.

But I noticed something a few months ago that Total Commander doesn't do like
I would want it to.
I think I better explain my problem with an example since it should be better
to understand. Please also excuse my english if something seems weird. I'm a
german guy.
Basically I sort my music files by artists in different directories.
When I take a sampler it has multible artists on it.
So before I move the files in the different dirs I select all the files
and save my selection to a .txt file as some kind of playlist. That way I
could load my selection anytime I want to burn the cd with the exact titles
in the right order.
It would be very difficult to check the list of titles, click every directory
and search the file by myself.
Therefore I would like to be able to select files within subdirs.

I would like it to work like this:

- I browse into the main dir which contains all the subdirs (named by artist)
- I press CTRL + B on my keyboard to list all files in all subdirs
- Now I simply load my selection from the .txt file...

...and every file from the .txt file would be selecetd and ready for
drag'n'drop. In fact I don't really know why it doesn't work like this anyway.

I hope you can understand what I mean.
I would be very happy if this feature could be added in future versions.

Thank you for reading. =)

Greetings to everyone here,

I think your request would've get much more support if things were put like:

Restore selection should work in branch view too


Anyway: support+

Hm.... very nice idea indeed.

I am thinking....
... what about having another selection that will be kept while browsing:
For instance, I enter folder A, select something, exit, enter folder B select something, exit, return to A and items are still selected.

That can be some other kind of selection, presented with some other color that will not influence normal operations like Copy, Delete and so, but you will have to explicitely allow for such thing - for instance checking some box while copying or deleting, for instance [x] use alternate selection.

Or something like that...

Hi Trigg,
This is the "TC7 Beta discussion+suggestions (English)"--Forum.

But your request is not related to the beta but in general... i.e. "Warum benutzt du nicht das deutsche Forum?"

That isn't good enough?

dir /s >list.txt

How would that restore selection in TC when in branch view?

ah, that's true. It would be a nice feature indeed.

Hi,

Is this still not supported? I really need that feature...

Well, it has worked fine here since at least TC 8.00
