| 6 | The :color fc=default bc=palegray.Ctrl:color fc=default bc=default. +
|
|---|
| 7 | :color fc=default bc=palegray.F8:color fc=default bc=default. accelerator calls up the Select menu for a given
|
|---|
| 8 | container. You can also, of course, get to it with the mouse via the
|
|---|
| 9 | :hp1.Views:ehp1. menu.
|
|---|
| 10 | :p.
|
|---|
| 11 | What follows is an item-by-item description of the commands in the
|
|---|
| 12 | Select menu. Where both Select and Deselect commands are available,
|
|---|
| 13 | only the Select command will be discussed to save space and avoid
|
|---|
| 14 | repetition.
|
|---|
| 15 | :p.
|
|---|
| 16 | :hp1.Select All:ehp1. Selects all objects in a container.
|
|---|
| 17 | :hp1.Deselect All:ehp1. has an accelerator :color fc=default bc=palegray.Ctrl:color fc=default bc=default. + :color fc=default bc=palegray.\:color fc=default bc=default..
|
|---|
| 18 | :p.
|
|---|
| 19 | :hp1.Select All Files:ehp1. Selects all the file objects in a
|
|---|
| 20 | container. The accelerator key :color fc=default bc=palegray.Ctrl:color fc=default bc=default. + :color fc=default bc=palegray./:color fc=default bc=default. is assigned to this command.
|
|---|
| 21 | :p.
|
|---|
| 22 | :hp1.Select All Dirs:ehp1. Selects all the directory objects in a
|
|---|
| 23 | container. The accelerator key Shift + :color fc=default bc=palegray.Ctrl:color fc=default bc=default. + :color fc=default bc=palegray.?:color fc=default bc=default. is assigned to this
|
|---|
| 24 | command :hp1.Deselect All Dirs:ehp1. has an accelerator :color fc=default bc=palegray.Shift:color fc=default bc=default. + :color fc=default bc=palegray.Ctrl:color fc=default bc=default. + :color fc=default bc=palegray.|:color fc=default bc=default.
|
|---|
| 25 | :p.
|
|---|
| 26 | :hp1.Select Mask:ehp1. Allows you to select files that match a filemask.
|
|---|
| 27 | The same dialog is used for this command that's used for the :link
|
|---|
| 28 | reftype=hd res=93400.Filter:elink. command. When you first initiate
|
|---|
| 29 | this command, FM/2 fills in a default mask built from the current
|
|---|
| 30 | object's name. So, to quickly select all the *.BAK files in a
|
|---|
| 31 | container, you could select one of the files, then type :color fc=default bc=palegray.Ctrl:color fc=default bc=default. + :color fc=default bc=palegray.=:color fc=default bc=default. (the
|
|---|
| 32 | accelerator assigned to Select Mask) and press :color fc=default bc=palegray.Enter:color fc=default bc=default. to accept the
|
|---|
| 33 | default filemask built by FM/2 (*.BAK).
|
|---|
| 34 | :p.
|
|---|
| 35 | :hp1.Select clipboard:ehp1. If the OS/2 clipboard contains a list of files
|
|---|
| 36 | (such as can be created with the :hp1.Save to clipboard:ehp1. command),
|
|---|
| 37 | you can select any files present in both the container and the list with
|
|---|
| 38 | this command. The accelerator for this command is :color fc=default bc=palegray.Ctrl:color fc=default bc=default. + :color fc=default bc=palegray.]:color fc=default bc=default.. The
|
|---|
| 39 | accelerator for the Deselect clipboard command is :color fc=default bc=palegray.Shift:color fc=default bc=default. + :color fc=default bc=palegray.Ctrl:color fc=default bc=default. + :color fc=default bc=palegray.}:color fc=default bc=default..
|
|---|
| 40 | :p.
|
|---|
| 41 | :hp1.Select List:ehp1. If you've saved a list to a file (such as can be
|
|---|
| 42 | created with the :link reftype=hd res=96000.Save to list file:elink.
|
|---|
| 43 | command), you can select any files present in both the listfile and the
|
|---|
| 44 | container with this command.
|
|---|
| 45 | :p.
|
|---|
| 46 | :hp1.Reselect:ehp1. This command causes the container to reselect the
|
|---|
| 47 | last selected items. The accelerator is :color fc=default bc=palegray.Ctrl:color fc=default bc=default. + :color fc=default bc=palegray.'t:color fc=default bc=default..
|
|---|
| 48 | :p.
|
|---|
| 49 | :hp1.Invert selection:ehp1. Selects what isn't, deselects what is. In
|
|---|
| 50 | other words, reverses the current selection set.
|
|---|
| 51 | The accelerator is :color fc=default bc=palegray.Ctrl:color fc=default bc=default. + :color fc=default bc=palegray.;:color fc=default bc=default..
|
|---|
| 52 | :p.
|
|---|
| 53 | :hp2.Compare selections:ehp2.
|
|---|
| 54 | :p.
|
|---|
| 55 | FM/2 provides Directory Containers with special selection commands that
|
|---|
| 56 | can be used to select file objects based on their relationship to file
|
|---|
| 57 | objects in other open Directory Containers. These commands are extremely
|
|---|
| 58 | powerful tools that can let you, for instance, compare two directories to
|
|---|
| 59 | see what's different about them. See also :link reftype=hd
|
|---|
| 60 | res=94900.Compare Directories:elink..
|
|---|
| 61 | :p.
|
|---|
| 62 | :hp1.Select if in all:ehp1. This command selects any file objects that
|
