File List > Companion files documentation

[FrankNT]

Hi, I have problems getting the hide/show companion files to work (V1.7.0).

My goal is to have JPG as the master and hide (or show) RAF,NEF,XMP etc. files.

Can someone please point me in the right direction to find documentation on the correct/best way to make the association list for companion files?

Some clarification
=================================================================

I know where to change the Companion Files association list.

In fact I had it working for years with this:

old setup.jpg

But now after latest upgrade it always shows all files, no matter if the "Show companion files" is unticked or not.

------------------------
To test, I uninstalled XnView completely, including the %appdata%\XnViewMP folder,
reinstalled V1.7.0 and
boiled the list down to this, where I guess
Line 1 will hide .xmp files
Line 2 will show .jpg files and hide .raf files
- but no luck, all files are always visible.

Any ideas....?

BTW, what does the token {raw} mean?
Is this stuff documented somewhere?

hi,
You can make a personalized filter to display only the JPG.
And then choose i the filter list, the display you want (all files or not).

use Settings > File list > Companion files

This is how I have mine setup. Probably some duplication in this list but it works.

Same problem here. It is seems to be working on reverse:
When you uncheck "Show companion" it hides the jpg "Master" files instead the raw ones (CR2 and ARW than i added on companion menu)

To show the JPG "Show companion" must be ON and then go to "Custom Filter--Exclude" and add the Raw extensions
