Ghost Filter - ".*." - won't hide such items

Post by konfuzius »

.* Hide all items beginning with a dot. *
*. Match any files without extension. *
* works fine of course ...

But in combination it won't hide files beginning with a dot and having no extension e.g.

Code: Select all

.*.
f: .*.
f: ._*.

That's strictly speaking a contradiction. Files with a dot always have an extension: everything right of the last dot. (Dot is not possible at the last position.) :mrgreen:

To match files that begin with a dot and have no further dot, hmm, that's probably not possible with a Ghost Filter.

Files with a dot always have an extension[...]
Out of zip extracted files with initial ".", "._", "._." without ext e.g.:
