Under konqueror in suse 11 you can Ctrl+A and it selects all. The same is in 11.1 with Dolphin. Crtl + and there I can *.ogg and it will select in that directory all the ogg files and so on.
I have 3500 files in that directory with a mix of wav, ogg, mp4 and mp3. I can do it using CLI but seems to be a basic function of a file manager and I do not see it.
Press ctrl-i to get the filter bar. There you can type "ogg" to only show files with "ogg" in the name, and then you can press ctrl-a to select all filtered files
If you have files with ogg somewhere in the filename but not the extension, and you want to avoid selecting those, type "ogg$" in the filter

Anders, thxs that did it.

I like to look for different solutions for the same problem :-) .ogg should be enough to skip files that have ogg in somewhere else in the name. When one knows that filter accepts regular expressions, like Anders, and now all that read this thread it is possible to ask filter to list only those that end. At this point * lists nothing. Is it OK, considering that Find Files insists on presence of star * . Besides Tools > Show Filter Bar (Ctrl-i) there is also Tools > Find Files (Ctrl-f) that can help with actions on files in many subdirectories. In particular example: *.ogg will find them all, but .ogg will show nothing. -- Regards, Rajko -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
