If I write a command that calls (interactive "f"), Emacs will prompt the user to select a file when the command is run interactively. With Helm enabled, this selection is done through Helm with no additional effort -- this is great!
However, if I mark multiple files in the Helm selection window, it is not clear to me that this information is passed on to the command. Is there a way to get custom commands to cooperate with Helm and multiple selections?
If you want to pass multiple selections, you have to explicitly retrieve:
(helm-marked-candidates :with-wildcard t)
and explicitly process the selections. Try printing the return value of the above form to see if you get correct set of candidates.
(defun my-test (files) (interactive "f") (message "%S" files))isn't invoking Helm for me.(require 'helm) (require 'helm-config) (require 'helm-files) (helm-mode 1)my commands work with Helm (tried fromemacs -Q).defunmessages only the file under point when Helm exits.
