Select files with same base filename

Help & Support
1

I'm trying to reorganize a number of image/video files and looking to be able to select MOV files along with their respective THM sidecar files (or any file who's base filename is the same as the MOV file). The THM sidecar contains metadata for the MOV file.

For example:

Suppose a directory contains a number of JPG, CRW, CR2, MOV, and THM files. All THM files should have a matching CRW or MOV file although not all MOV files will have a THM sidecar file. These sidecar files have the same name as the CRW or MOV file just with the file extension of "THM". A sample of files could include:

JGates_20120201_00129.jpg JGates_20120201_00130.crw JGates_20120201_00130.thm JGates_20120201_00131.mov JGates_20120201_00131.thm JGates_20120201_00132.mov JGates_20120201_00133.mov

I've created a filter to show only MOV and THM files, but I'm not sure how to apply it to only show the MOV file's respective THM. As it currently works, it shows all THM files, even those that belong to CRW files. I then have to manually select files based on matching base filenames.

Set SHOWFILTERFILENAME *.(mov|thm)

Any thoughts on how I might be able to do this?

Thanks.

Click this and it will show you just the .mov files plus any .thm files that correspond to a .mov file.

Click it again while holding Shift and it will revert to showing everything.

@keydown:none Select *.mov DESELECTNOMATCH SHOWHIDDEN Select SIMILARBASE Select HIDEUNSEL NOPATTERN @keydown:shift Select SHOWHIDDEN NOPATTERN
