hi to all
i'm really enjoying this great software,but i have
something that bothers me allot
when you search for file in quick search you cant use wild card

for example if you have a directory with the file:

song-radiohead-creep.mp3

you cant just type *creep to get quickly to the file (like in total commander) instead you can only press: song to get to the file
one more thing if you try to search with ctrl+f and then focus on song
you will discover that you need two wildcards for example *creep*
and not just one.
hope you will improve this since its a very basic needed feature of a
file manager.
other features are great. keep working for all of us.

In quick search the wildcard keys are slash (/), backslash (\), or less than (<) character (see help file under "Quick searching").

In the find file dialog you can use "creep" instead of "*creep*" to get all files with creep anywhere in the filename (I think this is not written in the help file).

thanks! its working !!
