Editing Folder Views (again!)

I love Folder Views, I abso-(expletive deleted)-lutely hate editing them!

I had a lot of them like:

*:\01-lift\01-data\

and have gradually expanded them, catering for dated backups, to:

Code: Select all

*:\01-lift\01-data\|*:\*\01-lift\01-data\

and doing so is a horrible PITA, as after one edit one has to start all over again by opening the FV dialog. And now I'm facing the same sch*ße again, as I want to add a third qualifier to the lot, turning them into

Code: Select all

*:\01-lift\01-data\|*:\*\01-lift\01-data\|\\LAPPY\Lappy-D\01-lift\01-data\

Can, again, you please, please, please give us a way to maybe either add "super wildcards", like "**",

Code: Select all

**\01-lift\01-data\

or a full-text FV editor? XY must already have all the code to process the binary blob that encodes FVs, why not make it external, or better, freeze the basic format, adding a filler/pointer "for future extension" to another (fvse.dat?) file, and make its specification public, so that the community might be able to create something to simplify editing them?
