What is it
Selective is a simple Tracker add-on that lets you enter a wildcard pattern
to select files from a Tracker window.
How to install it
Double-click the Installer icon to launch the installation program. The
Installer will automatically put Selective in the
"/boot/home/config/add-ons/Tracker/"
folder.
How to get rid of it
Double-click the Uninstaller icon to launch the uninstallation program. The
Uninstaller will automatically remove Selective from your system.
How to use it
Go to the window that contains the files that you want to select. Then
right-click somewhere in the window or open the
File menu. Go to
Add-Ons and choose
Selective. Alternatively you can
press the keys RightCtrl-RightAlt-W
(PC keyboard) or Command-Control-W
(Macintosh keyboard).
In the small window that pops up you can enter the selection pattern.
The pattern may contain the wildcards
*, which matches any
character zero or more times, and
?, which matches any single
character. Selective is not case-sensitive.
So, for example, be* will match
BeOS and
beer, and
*.html will match any files with
the extension .html. On the other
hand, be? will only match things
like bee and
BET, but not
beer.
Known Problems
If some files were already selected before you invoked Selective and no files
match the selection pattern, then the old selection is not automatically
cleared. Because of this, you might want to make sure that no files are
selected before you start Selective.
Legal Stuff
