<title>Select files by pattern</title>
<p>You can select files in a folder using a pattern on the file name.
Press <keyseq><key>Ctrl</key><key>S</key></keyseq> to bring up the
<gui>Select Items Matching</gui> window. Type in a pattern using
common parts of the file names plus wild card characters. There are
two wild card characters available:</p>
<list style="compact">
<item><p><file>*</file> matches any number of any characters, even
no characters at all.</p></item>
<item><p><file>?</file> matches exactly one of any character.</p></item>
</list>
<p>For example:</p>
<list>
<item><p>If you have an OpenDocument Text file, a PDF file, and an
image that all have the same base name <file>Invoice</file>, select
all three with the pattern</p>
<example><p><file>Invoice.*</file></p></example></item>
<item><p>If you have some photos that are named like
<file>Vacation-001.jpg</file>, <file>Vacation-002.jpg</file>,
<file>Vacation-003.jpg</file>; select them all with the pattern</p>
<example><p><file>Vacation-???.jpg</file></p></example></item>
<item><p>If you have photos as before, but you have edited some of them and
added <file>-edited</file> to the end of the file name of the photos you
have edited, select the edited photos with</p>
<example><p><file>Vacation-???-edited.jpg</file></p></example></item>
</list>
