Right now I am memorizing which videos are to be marked, and not use Emacs to help me - if ! operates only on files marked as * then I could as a solution mark files with some other character, let us say V but I wish to know how to do it - Later, those files marked with V character I could replace to * character to operate on such videos, that I know how to do from the manual What I do not find in the manual is how to mark files with some other character. That is what would make my above envisioned workflow useful. Jean
