Hi Fred Do you find this working reliably on the
latest 417a13 test release? Please see my post here from 25th Nov. I couldn't get reliable operation at all, nor could I get it to do Ctrl-Shift-F on a word to find in all open files - the most useful thing in the whole thing IMHO Thanks John On 05/12/2018 20:48, Fred Graute wrote:

The strongHelp says if I drag the directory to the iconbar with control help it opens a dialig allowing me to specify the file type. What actually opens is a dialog with two lines. The first contains *.** and is editable. The second line, which seems to refer to file content, isn't editable. How do I use this dialog please?The syntax of the Pattern field is: <list of filetypes> ; <patterns to match> Filetypes are expressed as 3-digit hex numbers, eg FFF for text or FFB for BASIC. Multiple filetypes can be specified, seperated by spaces. To accept all filetypes use '*' for the filetype. The patterns are the same as those in ModeWhen files and are used to match filenames. Two wildcards are supported '*' and '**'. The '*' wildcard matches anything except '.' while '**' matches all. Together they provide a simple yet powerful way of matching filenames. Specifying '**' on its own will match all filenames. To load all Basic files use: FFB ; ** This will recurse into any subdirectories. If this is unwanted then specify the top directory in the pattern: FFB ; **.<top directory>.* (without the angle brackets). Cheers, Fred. --
