A way to have all selected files in one list, not the same verb applied successively

Open SplendidSwifter opened this issue 4 weeks ago • 3 comments

this is NOT a bug, i am sure i am sure i have skipped over some part of the documentation

in ~/.config/broot/verbs.hjson i have written

## 2cbz
   {
    invocation:  cbz
    external:    "7za a -tzip -mm=copy out.cbz {file}"
    leave_broot: false
   }

the thing should be like 6 hundredths of a second, instead it takes a few seconds. the feeling is this command will add each staged file one by one. the result is still correct, but is there a way to add a list --- like in the case of midnight commander the equivalent of '%t', the list of selected files.

is there a way to add the files in the stage area, without doing C--> to switch the panel?

anyway, as i said, the verb does the right thing, and the loss is minimal. thank you for writing broot, it is the first tool to make me ditch midnight commander.

Can you please confirm that what you want is https://github.com/Canop/broot/issues/465 ?

(the most awaited feature of broot, high on my TODO list)

oh, yes, thank you. i should have been looking into the list of open tickets, but i went forward with /i must be doing something wrong/. you have perfectly identified the issue, and i am sure when you have the time you will make it a reality.

keep up the good work!
