Open Multiple PDF's at one time from Open Dialog ?

[lbdyck]

It would be nice to be able to select and open multiple pdf's at once using the open dialog.

For example I wanted to open all of the pdf's with the word 'message' in the title. I'm able to filter the list of pdf's by using *message*.pdf but I can only select one of them to open. Being able to select multiple or all would be great.

Thanks

Really nice suggestion, I love it, too!

You can use drag and drop from Windows Explorer, or right-click and open several selected files.

Trying to select several files in the Open file dialogue with Control + Click causes PDF-XChange to crash.

True you can open multiple from windows explorer but that isn't the ideal.

...with Control + Click causes PDF-XChange to crash.

I can't use Control here... which version do you use?

[Bhikkhu Pesala]

In many applications you can make multiple selections with Control + Click. In PDF-XChange, you cannot. If you try to, it will cause a crash sooner or later.

I am quite happy with drag and drop from Windows Explorer. It does what is wanted quite efficiently. Adding the option to use control click and shift click to the Open File dialoge would be a bonus, but it is a low priority.

There is no File Open dialogue for the browser plugin. However, I can use the browser's Open File dialogue to select multiple PDF documents and each will open in a separate tab in my browser (Opera).

Use what works now, don't hold your breath waiting for others to fix things to suit you.

I second this feature request.

Any chance that this feature will make the next build (please, beg, grovel plead, ...)
