Make complex Finder selections with glob patterns

This should come with the OS.

BTW, the behaviour is funky when in column view.

lselect update for column view compatibility

I'm glad you find it useful!

BTW, the behaviour is funky when in column view.

You're right, it is. I must not use column view too often because I hadn't noticed that before. Finder selections appear to work a little differently in column view.

So, I've made a few changes in an attempt to accommodate column view and dubbed it lselect 1.1 (same location as the original hint). It should behave more sensibly in column view (no new windows popping up), but there is one stumper bug: if the last item in lselect's internal list of matches is a directory, its contents column will be revealed and other matches will lose selection.

The original version remains available just in case this update causes any other problems.
