Dumb Linux Question

[jkmorse]

Help please!

Just converted to Linux and trying to figure out the shortcut for selecting just some files from the complete set.  Back in Windows, I could just type *[file portion]* in the "open" window and it would only open the files with that file portion in its name.  But I just tried doing the same thing in Linux (with the SubFrameSelector Script) and it just put what I typed into the tool.

Thanks for the help.

Not sure about the wildcard, but to select multiple files I've always just shift or control clicked. You can also control-a to select them all. Does that get you where you want to go?

I can always do the Control Click, that isn't the issue.  But in Windows I could always limit my selection to the latest set, for example if I run Calibration and CosmeticCorrection, I have images with both a "_c" and a "_c_cc" suffix.  If I want to run SubFrameSelector on just the second set, I could just put in *c_cc* and it would knock out the first set so I didn't have to individually select each frame with Control Click.  I am hoping I can do the same in Linux.

How about this. On the top of the Places list on the left is a Search option. It doesn't seem to accept wildcards but you can put multiple terms (file name fragments) separated by spaces and the behaviour appears to be an AND. Does that get closer?

You are a genius!!  That works perfectly.  Can even put in c_cc for example and get exactly what I want.

Second time you bailed me out on Linux.  I owe you big time 

Best,

No problem. With all that you've done on the cribsheet I'd say I'm still in your debt. I'm no linux expert by any means but feel free to PM me too. I don't know if we should clog the forum with linux stuff. But maybe someday your cribsheet can have a linux setup section!
