sadly i can't save a preset

Open Tools > List mgmt > Quick Search.... Create a new entry with this string

Code: Select all

-----> mru

Now create a new entry above that one with your QS pattern

Code: Select all

*.

Now the Quick Search dropdown will always remember the "*.". Actually any entry added above that mru line is stickied to the dropdown. You can use this trick in the addressbar too, and many other list mgmt lists.

If there's no extension, is it also possible that there will be no . (dot)?

It's undeniable. *. is simply a special pattern to find extensionless items.

When you type a dot, XY matches the part after that in file extensions, and if there's nothing after the dot, then it matches in extensionless files.
