## 7 Advanced Mark Commands

`F`

  (`dired-do-find-marked-files`) Find all marked files at once displaying them simultaneously. If optional noselect is non-`nil` then just find the files but do not select. If you want to keep the Dired buffer displayed, type `C-x 2` first. If you want just the marked files displayed and nothing else, type `C-x 1` first.

  The current window is split across all files marked, as evenly as possible. Remaining lines go to the bottom-most window. The number of files that can be displayed this way is restricted by the height of the current window and the variable `window-min-height`.

`dired-mark-extension`

  Mark all files with a certain extension for use in later commands. A ‘`.`’ is not automatically prepended to the string entered, you must type it explicitly.

  When called from Lisp, extension may also be a list of extensions and an optional argument marker-char specifies the marker used.

`dired-flag-extension`

  Flag all files with a certain extension for deletion. A ‘`.`’ is not automatically prepended to the string entered.
