Using MC to triage PDFs
« on: Yesterday at 18:45:15 »
Hi. Beginner here, using Windows 7.

I have a particular usage requirement that I wonder if MC can meet?

I recently had to triage a thousand-odd emails. In Thunderbird, it was just two keypresses x 1000. Down the list viewing the preview, then tap
one (OK, modified) key to tag Yes or No. Great. When done, exported the Yesses.

How can I do this for PDFs? I guess what I need is two MC command keypresses that set some file attribute/tag to No/Yes, then filter to get the results.

Thanks.

You need a MultiScript like
Code: [Select]
MC.Run CMD="${focusfilepath}" SHELL
I have assigned the F10 key to this MultiScript. 
Then you can use the normal selection (in toggle mode). 
For me, toggle mode is on the right mouse button. 
This works well, and selections can also be saved: 
Edit > Save selection to file.
