Chapter 7: Advanced Mark Commands

F

(dired-do-find-marked-files) Find all marked files at once displaying simultaneously. If optional NOSELECT is non-nil then just find the files but do not select. If you want to keep the dired buffer displayed, type C-x 2 first. If you want just the marked files displayed and nothing else, type C-x 1 first.

The current window is split across all files marked, as evenly as possible. Remaining lines go to the bottom-most window. The number of files that can be displayed this way is restricted by the height of the current window and the variable window-min-height.

dired-mark-extension

Mark all files with a certain extension for use in later commands. A `.' is not automatically prepended to the string entered.

When called from lisp, extension may also be a list of extensions and an optional argument marker-char specifies the marker used.

dired-flag-extension

Flag all files with a certain extension for deletion. A `.' is not automatically prepended to the string entered.
