[oXygen-user] Feature request: wildcards or regex in directory filter

[Oxygen XML Editor Support]

Hello Matthew,

Actually wildcards are already supported in the "Open/Find Resource" 
view and dialog (Ctrl+Shift+R).
However, I see that there is a bug here in that you are actually 
searching across URLs, not file paths. The dialog is misleading when it 
mentions file paths.
This means it won't work when searching for

C:\dita\*\products\testproduct\user

but it will work correctly when searching for:

file:/C:\dita\*\products\testproduct\user

or the simpler:

*C:\dita\*\products\testproduct\user

I've submitted an issue on our issue tracking tools so that file paths 
(which are actually the ones advertised) will also be supported.


Regarding the "Find/Replace in Files", I've logged a separate feature 
request to support wildcards for directories.

Regards,
Adrian
