Make obvious (or possible) how to trash multiple files in a project at once

Open kcrisman opened this issue 10 years ago • 2 comments

I accidentally named a file wrong. I can't figure out how to rename it, and since its a .tex file all the subsidiary files are there. I figured out how to trash it via the info button on the left, but I really want a check list on the left (possibly with a "master check" to select all) that I can then click on a trash icon somewhere to trash everything I don't want. (In this case, all these wrongly named files, because even if I figure out how to rename the file, all the other 'extra' files from pdflatex will still be there.)

As a workaround, in the command line box in the upper right corner, you can do rm wrongname* and it's gone.

​Hah! But of course that is not the point of the ticket, as I already have the workaround of clicking each file separately and trashing.

(BTW, I opened a ticket on the sagemathinc github to move all these tickets there... so, where is the 'official' SMC ticket site?)
