File Finder App: Ignore double quotes

[ubacher]

When using Windows Explorer Shift-right click -> Copy as Path to produce a list of file names
it puts the names in "".

File finder should ignore double quotes in the input.

(Maybe it could ignore all characters not allowed in file names?)

I assume you are doing a straight copy & paste from the Windows Explorer clipboard contents into the File Finder Bulk Match input field?

I added this enhancement to IMatch 2021.
If this is urgent, you can just apply the patch as follows:

Open in your editor.
Change line 366ff as follows:

if (a.length > 0) {

Code Select Expand

// Trim " and ' from the start and end.
if ((a[0] == '"') || (a[0] == '\'')) {
  a = a.substring(1);
}
if ((a[a.length-1] == '"') || (a[a.length-1] == '\'')) {
  a = a.slice(0, -1);
}

bulkMatchFileNames.push(a);
