No extension in Visual filter
No extension in Visual filter
Could somebody give me a logical explanation why *. doesn't work in visual filter for filtering files without extension, although the Custom File Icons and Portable File Associations accept it readily?

Thanks, it would be nice, because my current solution is far from straightforward: |!*.*;attr: d
Re: No extension in Visual filter
I have the latest beta and it doesn't work for me. In fact for me, any VF that ends with a "." fails to find any matches, but leaving the "." off finds them ok.admin wrote:Will work in next version.

How can that be? Are you sure you are running v15.00.0520 or later?

Re: No extension in Visual filter
I am using the latest beta 15.00.0533, see screenshots. The first has a VF with no trailing "." and it gets a match. The second, I add the trailing "." and no match. Note that the full file name is "aap.vim" and I would expect to get a match with both VFs.admin wrote:How can that be? Are you sure you are running v15.00.0520 or later?
It is obviously working for others so there must be a setting that is causing it not to work for me. The interesting thing will be to find what it is.

Re: No extension in Visual filter
You forgot the wildcards. "aap." will match only files called "aap".

Re: No extension in Visual filter
PS: I'm going to change that. IMO you were right to expect auto-wildcards here: aap. = *aap*.

Re: No extension in Visual filter
I updated to release 15.10.0000 and I don't see a difference. A VF with a trailing "." still doesn't find a match. See screenie.
Sorry to be so dense, but what am I doing wrong?

Re: No extension in Visual filter
A trailing '.' now means items without extension.
'aap.' matches any item containing 'aap' without an extension ('gaap', 'aap', but not 'aap.vim')
'aap.*' matches any item starting with 'aap.' so 'aap.vim' or 'aap.vim.bak' but not 'gaap.txt'.
'*aap.*' matches any item containing 'aap.' be it 'aap.vim' or 'aap.vim.bak' or 'gaap.txt'.
'aap' is equivalent to '*aap*' and will match any item containing 'aap' so all of the above-mentioned items.
