Select files from src to dst by filebasename

Help & Support

Hi!

This time I tried and even digged the manual first (did not last time, sorry).. o)

I want to select files from source to destination, which have the same filebasename but different extension.
(E.g: I have image.jpg selected in source, and want image.rw2 selected in destination.)

I made it work by putting the filename to select into a variable ={file$|noext}.rw2 and then SELECT with that name after switching the destination to be the source lister.
The latter seems a bit odd to me, is there another option to select files in destination (without making it source first)?

Thank you!.. o)
Rob.

Maybe Select SOURCETODEST=noext

There's a built-in command that should do what you want: Select SOURCETODEST=noext

Edit: oops, beaten to it...

If I won't need to switch source/destination anymore while selecting, this shall be fine, though it is a little bit less exact.
Thanks guys! I'll give it a try..

It does exactly what you asked, I think?

Or was your "e.g." of selecting a .rw2 file part of the requirements rather than just one example of what might be selected?

Well yes - my little fault. My "e.g." showed the actual use-case for me, but thinking about it: Right now it should not harm if it works for other file extensions too.
You just don't know what happens "next month". Another software and maybe another fileextension between those raw-files.
Then at least it's time to think about selecting only those *.rw2 files. But until then this should work. Thanks for your caring kind of response!.. o)
