Selection/Select All Of Same Type

This function selects all files in the folder of the same type as the one currently selected.  For example, if the files pane (ie. currently folder) shows multiple types of images, ie. gif, png, jpg, bmp, etc., it is possible to select only jpg images by

  • select a single jpg image, by clicking on it
  • use this function - Select All Of Same Type.

The end result is that all jpg files will be selected.

 

    Tip: Select All of Same Type uses the file type, as determined by the Windows registry - not the file extension!  This means, for example, that image1.jpg and image2.jpeg will both be selected, since they are both of type JPEG Image.  Windows file types may be viewed by enabling the Type column in the files pane.  You may select by file name using the Wildcard Select... routine.
