Hello, globbing already is integratet into the fileselector for people in "keybord-mode". tabe the pattern and then tab (p.e. *.tex [TAB]). Having a input-field where you could type in a pattern is in my opinion quite useless, because the functionality is there already for keyboard usage. Perhaps we should have a combo-box that display all file-extensions that occure in the fileselector-list. So p.e. if the dir contains: anna.gif compose.sh mary.jpg michael.png tests tom.jpg it should contain *, *.gif, *.jpg, *.png, *.sh. I don't think this list would grow to large in most cases and would give all pattern a user would expect. There is not much sense offering the user lots of patterns that would result in empty list, even if the application would be able to cope with this file.
