Select files based on a list, copy the selection to other view

[CruleD]

Hello everyone, I wasn't able to find a way to do something I needed so I had to create account to ask.
I will try to explain it as best as I can.

• I have a folder with multiple subfolders and thousands of files.

• Did the initial search for files with partial name matches (*part_name* on each line) in filelist.text and fed that into Search in: @filelist.txt.

• The complete results are fed into listbox.

• Both views (left and right) are the same like that (did the same search twice, once in both views).

• Then on the left view, did another search, advanced > find duplicate files (as the results above contained same files multiple times)

• Then numpad+ to leave at least one file in each group unselected.

• Now on the left I have all the duplicates selected, and on the right the original list of all found files.

What I want to do now it select those duplicates from the left view, in right view, so I could remove them from view (but not delete the files).

In essence, I just want to remove the very same (same file path) files that appear multiple times. I should be able to filter it further on my own.
So I need either some way to select files based on a list, copy the selection to other view or some other way to do it.

Thanks for reading.

You can save selected files in the Search result to a list with the SAVESELECTION command and you can load a saved list (as a Search result) with the LOADLIST command

Run: hh.exe %COMMANDER_PATH%\TOTALCMD.CHM::dlg_configbuttonbar.htm
to see the help for these commands

Thanks, but after some googling I found an easier way to do it.
Just clicking the Mark > Save Selection to file, then Mark > Load selection from file.
After that I can invert and just show selected files.

Thanks for the help. That solves that part.
