According to the scripting guide you can use a function instead of a mask. Here's an example:

Code: Select all

{

	function testFiles(theFile) {
		if (theFile.name.indexOf(".psd") != -1 || theFile.name.indexOf(".tga") != -1) {
			return true;
		}
	}

	var theFolder = folderGetDialog("Import Items from Folder...");
	var filesArray = theFolder.getFiles(testFiles);
	alert("There are " + filesArray.length + " valid files");
}

Thank you this works

But I was wondering if it was possible to make a mask that included more than one file extension,something like:

myFolder.getFiles('*.tga'+'*.psd');

but I guess this isn´t possible?

Sort of on this topic, how can you find the subfolders of a folder you picked with folderGetDialog()? mads, did you ever find out how to mask multiple file types? What if your extensions are all caps?
