From here, you can do anything that Windows can do (copy, delete... etc). Unfortunately it only supports 1 selected file at a time, but I hope to improve this in the future. :) ]]> RE: Perform file operations from the results list? https://www.fileseek.ca/Discussions/View/perform-file-operations-from-the-results-list/?ID=2a03e0b4-a859-448e-a6da-9927f41679eb#9 Thu, 04 Feb 2010 01:20:55 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.fileseek.ca/Discussions/View/perform-file-operations-from-the-results-list/?ID=2a03e0b4-a859-448e-a6da-9927f41679eb#9 FileSeek I really love this program, it is almost perfect. As far as searching goes, it has been for me. The problem is what you can do with the results.

I used photorec to recover a bunch of files, and this has helped a lot in sorting through them. I just wish I could delete and/or move or copy files from Fileseek. Then it would help immensely.

A drag and drop would be nice, copying selected files to clipboard so I can paste into a folder would work. I don't know if those are any easier than the context menu thing? I don't care how, anything that can delete/move/copy multiple results would help a ton! ]]> RE: Perform file operations from the results list? https://www.fileseek.ca/Discussions/View/perform-file-operations-from-the-results-list/?ID=2a03e0b4-a859-448e-a6da-9927f41679eb#8 Mon, 06 Jul 2009 23:14:50 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.fileseek.ca/Discussions/View/perform-file-operations-from-the-results-list/?ID=2a03e0b4-a859-448e-a6da-9927f41679eb#8 FileSeek @blckclbrtn: I haven't been able to find a reliable way to show the context menu for multiple results yet. Part of the problem is that the results can be from varying folders, which for some reason causes problems. :( ]]> RE: Perform file operations from the results list? https://www.fileseek.ca/Discussions/View/perform-file-operations-from-the-results-list/?ID=2a03e0b4-a859-448e-a6da-9927f41679eb#7 Thu, 28 May 2009 18:43:52 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.fileseek.ca/Discussions/View/perform-file-operations-from-the-results-list/?ID=2a03e0b4-a859-448e-a6da-9927f41679eb#7 FileSeek I love this program, especially since I am currently learning regex.

I am glad to see the Windows context menu available for the file results list, but it's not quite what I need. What would be really useful to me is to be able to open the group context menu for all of the returned results. Very often I need to copy or delete all of the files that match my query, and doing it line by line takes too long to be useful. Is this a possibility?

By the way, another great, slim program that uses regex for file renaming is ReNamer by den4b; unfortunately I don't think it's supported anymore, but it works beautifully.

But the lack of that Explorer context menu is a real show stopper. 90% of the time when I do a search, I need something off that context menu. I'd use FileSeek 100% of the time if it had that context menu.... but without it, FileSeek is next to useless to me.

Personally, I think getting that explorer menu added in should be top priority.

The Windows context menu would allow you to do all of the standard actions (delete, sent to... etc). ]]> Perform file operations from the results list? https://www.fileseek.ca/Discussions/View/perform-file-operations-from-the-results-list/?ID=2a03e0b4-a859-448e-a6da-9927f41679eb Wed, 03 Dec 2008 22:41:06 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.fileseek.ca/Discussions/View/perform-file-operations-from-the-results-list/?ID=2a03e0b4-a859-448e-a6da-9927f41679eb FileSeek I love FileSeek but I have a question.

Instead of just opening up the file, how can I right click a file and perform some operation like deleting it?

Thanks ]]>
