special character for a digit

[mazy]

i would like to be able to use special character for a digit in 'masks priority list' and 'viewers & editors' (and not only standard wildcards using * and ? characters).

at the moment, there's support for such a character (#) in the archivers selection of config (for specifiying for example rar files as .rar;.r##).

I suggest to use regular expressions. It would be more useful than some special chars.

for the things i want it for? well i don't think that would happen, plus it would be a little overkill. i would be happy enough with '#' for the time being.

Indeed, that would be overkill with unexpected side effects, like in viewer plugins. Those plugins instantly keep their "View next/prev" buttons enabled/disabled depending on whether there is something available. Using regular expressions could slow them down siginifficantly. Even 100ms is *a lot*. This time can be easily achieved on moderately fast computer when you have a thousand files in a single folder (windows system folder, folder with some job data etc.) and only few of them viewable with given viewer.

Yes, but RE is more universal and more powerful tool how to match files - more powerful than some special chars. But I know about the problem with speed. Maybe user should turn on this option with expert mode.
