Allowing the user to enter wildcards is a bit strange. But in any
case, the selection-changed signal should do what you want as long
as the file selector is in save mode. (should as in "is supposed to",
I don't know if it actually does curently.)

In open mode, the selection will always correspond to a file in the
filesystem.
