MyCadTools Filters

Hello;

I am currently using the MycadTools 2025 tools:

My goal is to monthly (Taskplanner) copies of my large assemblies in Edrawing format with the configurations (BatchConverter) ... So far not too many problems.
I block on the file filters:
The assemblies concerned by this task are all named with the shape:
#####-0000_0000
#####-#AAA_0000
#####-#BBB_0000

#####-#ZZZ_0000
(each # being a variable number between 0 and 9)
The assemblies are all in different directories/subdirectories.

=> I can't ask the Mycad filters to take several criteria into account (for example)

Do you know if the multi-criteria of the " Or " type is possible with this tool?
Or do you have another working hypothesis to propose to me?

Kind regards.

Hello

Indeed, it will not be possible to do this with the current filters of the File Selection tool.
However, the file picker tool can use a CSV.
Therefore, it is possible to use the SmartBom Beta tool beforehand to filter components with more advanced condition rules on a folder. SmartBom's condition tool allows you to do " Or " and " And ".

Your table model simply needs to retrieve the full path:

Then export as a CSV and import that CSV into TaskPlanner.

Kind regards

Thank you @fmarchand I had thought about it (except that in this case I will use a tool like Everything (https://www.voidtools.com/) rather than SmartBom.)
But the fact that you have to edit a list of files to be converted is contradictory to the automated use of Taskplanner.

Not necessarily contradictory but simply a way to set up differently

In the future we will deploy this condition tool, present in SmartBom, in other tools and in particular the " Filters " part of the file selection tool.

Kind regards

I said " contradictory " in the sense that my list of files to be converted evolves over time... well yes we have to continue to work and generate new Assemblages... and therefore a new list from SmartBom... then put it back in Taskplanner... etc...
