Multiple patterns in the selection filter?

Post by agnul »

Is it possible to enter multiple filters in the "selection filter" dialog? For example can I insert "*.c *.h" to select all c sources and headers? Using a regexp for a task like that seems a bit overkill (and also requires many more keystrokes: ".*\.(c|h)" instead of simply "*.c *.h" :lol:)

"*.c;*.h" should work, i.e. separate them with a semi-colon.

:D :D This could be VERY handy when one is looking for a file but not 100% sure of what type it is, such as JPG or BMP or GIF....so now I can scan for all three at one time! Nice!!

BTW, this makes my 300th post here! :wink:
