Can I see related filenames?

Hi
I tried to look up in the helpfile, could not find it.

If I click on a file, is there a way to see (for example with VarToy), with what files this file is related?
I am aware of the variable {File.Relations} what give us a result like

Collections|Relations|Master|NEF Versioning

I am only asking, if I can see somewhere all filenames from a stack or at least, what would help also, the related master.

But maybe it is not possible, IMatch is mighty, but finally all is not possible!  ;D

So it is just a question.
Best wishes from Switzerland! :-)

Open the Version Panel to see all files related to the selected file. View > Panels > Versions.

Thanks.
Yes, of course. But if you have 300 files in a stack and want quickly check, if there is a psd or a doc or whatever in the stack, then it is not easy to check this out.
For example expand the stack, choosing another file layout would be possible, but this is a bit akward.

I am not sure, but quite sure, I had once this informationl in a text-form.
But since it is of course not that important, so it is no object.  :D

A list of 300 file names somewhere will do you no good I think. Hard to find anything in that.

You can open the stack in a Result Window and then search or filter for whatever you want to check.
This way it takes only two mouse commands to open the stack in a result window and to apply the filter for .psd, for example.

I found at least a script, what comes with IMatch, calls "IMStack".

This script produces a list of all stacked files. Great.  :D
Not so so good like a variable for an app, but at least quite helpful.
Thanks for the script.  :D

An app that displays the names of all files in the currently selected stacks should be easy to do. Even with a small filter box where you can filter the names to quickly check for, say, .pdf files. A very good training app, especially considering the cool IMatch AnywhereTM...
