filelist: vs -filelist

[therube]

filelist: (function) vs -filelist (command line option)

So -filelist is specifically to open a file formatted to .efu specs (csv, complete with headers)?
Where filelist: is a function that reads a list of filenames, one per line, from a text file?

So there is no method to send a filelist: [file name] from a command line to open Everything with said named filelist: ?

[void]

-filelist <filename> is a command line option that opens the specified filelist in Everything.

filelist:<filename1|filename2|filename3> is a search function to search for a list of files and folders by their exact file name.

So -filelist is specifically to open a file formatted to .efu specs (csv, complete with headers)?

Yes.

Where filelist: is a function that reads a list of filenames, one per line, from a text file?

Not quite, filelist: takes a raw list of filenames. For example:

Code: Select all

filelist:"1.wav|ocean.wav|bassdrum.wav|synth1.wav|hihat_001.wav|cat purring.wav|projector3.wav|arrow.wav"

When using Search for a list of file names: in the Advanced Search the specified text file is opened and the filelist: function is generated with the file names from each line.

So there is no method to send a filelist: [file name] from a command line to open Everything with said named filelist: ?

Currently no, added to my TODO list. Something like -searchfilelist <listoffilenames.txt>
