Search for files with a certain word in file name?

[TsunamiZ]

Is there a way to search and highlight files in a folder with a certain word in the file name? Thanks.

Hello !

- You could try as masks :

word*.*

*word.*

*word*.*

…supposing the word is indeed always the same, and that several extensions can exist for these files…
- I guess that Regular Expressions would allow to perform this as one go, but they are not supported in XnView currently, AFAIK.

Kind regards,

where do i go to type that? does it select those files for me?

Use the Tools menu >> Search…
- You get a dialogue with all needed fields.

You may type the mask(s) in the first upper field for the filename.
- You can see that dialogue in the online Manual HERE

- You can state the directory in wich the search must be performed…

Kind regards,
Claude

But can the results be shown in the pane, and highlight the files for you?

[Clo]

The results are always displayed in a thumb-nails board …

- XnView is not a file-manager, so it can't display lists in panels, at least currently…
