XYplorer Beta Club

1. Support for wildcard in the location on Find Files like it's supported in Excluded.
2. When searching for dupes often there is a path or even an entire drive that is either mounted as read-only or that we want to compare everything against essentially making it the "master" path so would be great if we could have an additional tab where we can enter paths that if matching XYplorer doesn't allow to modify nor delete files from it in the results tab/view, additionally giving it a different color so we can differentiate quickly between normal and locked paths and only focus on the other info (like sizes and modtimes).

1. Impossible. Would require comparing all paths in the system to see if they match your wildcard pattern.

2. Well, a bit exotic, right?

OK, I can see how that could happen so maybe allow specifying a "all-available-drives" option to search for? I was thinking on using something like "*:\someDir" but I see how "*:\*\something" would make it search everywhere, so maybe allowing "*" for drive letters?

Is it? dupeGuru and Duplicate File Detective both have this feature, and I remember czkawka having this too but I haven't used that in years so I might be wrong.

Later...
