XYplorer Beta Club

From the top of my mind, selecting by same file type made XY crash. Sometimes not even TaskManager was able to cushion the impact, had to reboot or endure an overheating fan noise. Cannot test it right now, using the competition these days - but if I remember correctly I entered *.png or tried the extension dropdown, but left the main field empty, or with an asterisk ....

That was the main issue. Easy to avoid by using those other scripts that select by extensions, so I didn't make a fuss about it.

Ok, the next release (probably on ...) will take that into account (an empty pattern field / an asterisk only will will be recognized and (probably) handled accordingly).

I've converted most of the foreach loops into regex commands so handling of large folders will be substantially faster (although: as long as Don doesn't implement a binary compare for selectitems I can improve the selection time itself). Property matches aren't done file by file anymore (as most of the other options).

Stay tuned (if you like)...

Edit: It will take a while longer, I've got 11 Notebooks that I have to setup first...

Finally, a v1.2 release...

I hope I didn't break it *g*

You found a bug / many of them? <- Away from home (for a long, long time) xD

v1.2
• Added : A button to change between normal and branch view
• Added : An empty pattern (and an asterisk) are now accepted as default
values
• Changed: Every nth item: Faster while loop
• Changed: "Begins with" & "Ends with" separated
• Changed: DOS expression: Made "*" lazy of greedy
• Changed: [x] Incl. files is now a separate option
• Fixed : "Ends with" used the same pattern as "Begins with"

Thank you highend,
Been using XY on my private machines over the holidays. You fixed all previous issues, it seems. No complaints or missing features, your script delivers all selections I need.

Hi Highend

I have problem with your script, its fine finding filenames, but I cannot seem to get it to find mp3 tags
the example below I'm trying to find the artist "The Itals" using the prop mp3.artist but for some reason it does not find it.

I'm I doing something wrong?

Because when using properties, Match: must be Property, not Contains^^

Holy cow, this script is about 9 years old now...
