Usage:
writesel sel-file options

Writesel writes a parsable list of the currently selected (or unselected) items. It is the command-line implementation of Actions... Write List.

The output file name/pathname (sel-file) must be specified before any options. If sel-file includes spaces, it must be enclosed in single or double quote marks. If sel-file is browse or browser, a dialog for saving the file will appear. If sel-file is a single dash, the information will be sent to the Reply Log instead of saved to a file.

Option keywords for writesel can be truncated to unique strings and their case does not matter. A vertical bar "|" designates mutually exclusive options, and default values are indicated with bold. Synonyms for true: True, 1. Synonyms for false: False, 0.
