save search result

Post by *bladdi »

I hope I don't restart an existing thread, but I searched everywhere for something like this and found nothing, so...

My suggestion is to implement the ability to save the search result.
I know the function to save the search parameters, but I mean saving the file names as text found in a search, possibly with the whole path, so you can re-use the search result (e.g. as a list). The result can be saved maybe in a file or even directly into the clipboard (with ctrl+c) and maybe with a break after each line like it's displayed in the search results area in the file search.
I hope I described it understandable...

Is it possible to implement that? What do you think about it?

Hi,

You can already copy the search result to the clipboard using Ctrl+C in the search result window.

I support the request to have more persistent search results:

thanks for the quick answer...

I'm so dump. I just noticed that only one line can be marked, and thought it can't be copied. I also think I already tried it - could it be that it's new in 7.0 release? I upgraded just yesterday form 6.55 to 7.01

well, nevertheless thank you.

You can "feed to Listbox" select all the file you want to really save and do whatever you want with the selection using menu or bar button (ui) !

for info you can use extended menu.

POPUP "Save/&Get file Selection"
MENUITEM "Save Selection to &Memory", 530
MENUITEM "Get Selection from Mem&ory\tGray /", 529
MENUITEM SEPARATOR
MENUITEM "&Save Selection to Clipboard", 2017
MENUITEM "&Get Selection from Clipboard", 2033
MENUITEM SEPARATOR
MENUITEM "Save Selection &to File...", 2031
MENUITEM "Get Selection &from File...", 2032
END_POPUP


cm_RestoreSelection=529;Selection before last operation
cm_SaveSelection=530;Temporarily save selection
cm_SaveSelectionToFile=2031;Save file selection to file
cm_SaveDetailsToFile=2039;Save all shown columns to file
cm_LoadSelectionFromFile=2032;Read file selection from file
cm_LoadSelectionFromClip=2033;Read file selection from clipboard
cm_CopyNamesToClip=2017;Copy filenames to clipboard
