I need to be able to select all files in the source view having the same extension as the first selected file. After searching the forum I am unable to find a solution. How can I do this and tie this functionality to a key press?

Here's a button that will do that for you. By default the left click selects files with the same extension, and right click selects the same files by name regardless of extension.

See the first FAQ under the "Buttons and Toolbars" forum if you don't know how to add this to Opus.

BTW - I think this is a button or code that was once submitted by someone else on the forum, so I can't take credit for it. I just can't find the link right now.:blush:

<?xml version="1.0"?> Select Extension #selectwild Select Extension Select All Files Matching the Current File Extension #selectwild @nodeselect @firstfileonly @nofilenamequoting Select PATTERN *{f|ext} Select Same Name Select All Files With the Same Name (Excluding Extension) #selectwild @nodeselect @firstfileonly @nofilenamequoting Select PATTERN "{o|noext}.*"

The command for this is Select SIMILAR. Create a hotkey through Customize -> Keys to tie it to a key press as desired.

Thank you both. Very simple when you know how!
