Can I print from MC?

Hi Mathias,

Forst of all I'm not familiar with the syntax you're giving me, but I copy and pased it in and it does indeed work as you said - when used alone. Where do I find a complete overview of syntax?

I do get a problem though, when I try to add size less than 1 MB. Then I get no hit. It is like if adding size imply I'm searching for a file, but what I really want is all directories if all files added together is smaller than 1 MB.

I could of course do it by sorting directories by size with Shift Alt Enter, but then I wouldn't be able to manipulate the seach with sub levels, dates and attributes.

Hi,

First time I wanted to search directories to find which contain less than 1 MB data I kind of expected a different result.

From F3 I placed my search as I did with commander back in the old dos: *.
Thus, my filter say I want only file names without ext which includes directories.
And for size I choose less than and 1 MB, but there is no hit even thoguh I know there is a lot of directories in the path I search in if size is smaller than 1 MB.

So I guess it doesn't work as clever as in the old world where *. means all files without ext. including directories.

Thus, this is my request for the next version. It would probably be a good idea to separate directories from other files without ext.


Also I wander if there is a plan for scripting so that I can do whatever filtering and commands I like, preferably so that I can see the result before I apply them. If such a file explorer already exist I would be happy if somebody told me what's the name. Maybe there is a plugin or maybe it's easy to make one for my needs?

Regards,

Trude
