Support for SELECTFILES "*.%S:~-0,-255"

[petermad]

Currently this button works when different file names are selected:

Code: Select all

TOTALCMD#BAR#DATA
SELECTFILESS
"%S:~-0,255.*"
wcmicons.dll,39
Select all items with same base names as selected items - hold Shift down to also select folders

But this one does not work if more than one file type is selected:

Code: Select all

TOTALCMD#BAR#DATA
SELECTFILESS
"*.%S:~-0,-255"
wcmicons.dll,39
Select all items with same extensions as selected items - hold Shift down to also select folders

Is there a chance that %S could be made to work with a prefix for multiple file types.

In TC 11.01rci we got this:

09.08.23 Added: Button bar, start menu, parameters field: Better handling of parameters %S, %R, %P%S and %T%R in double quotes with appended text: "%Sbeforeext%Eafterext" inserts string beforeext before extension, and string afterext after. Supports env vars in the form %|variablename| (32/64)

It would still be nice if appending strings before name could also be supported, so a contruction like "*.%S:~-0,-255" would work.

That would indeed by nice to have, but would require extensive changes to the parameter parser - it currently just parses from left to right.
