My script is not perfect. Grunt!
Anyone knows how do, to adjust the lines above ?

Routine:

1) write initials of all desired items to mark (in the Qs-text-window)
2) select and copy this text, tab
3) execute the script (via trigger)


> this script sorts items in front window with the orange label (it fiters only 
> these files, where name begins with a minimum of 2 or 3 initial letters)

QUESTION
________________________________________________________________
Exists one way to send the text imput directly to Qs ? (without step
2!)
its tedious to repeat step 2
