*** Bug 492601 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** System Monitor does partial matches and supports using , as a separator for matching multiple items. So you can actually already do what you want by using "wine,.exe" as search string. I don't think we'll support full regular expressions for searching, as they are both far too complex for most people to use properly and they would interfere with a lot more standard search patterns that would suddenly need to be escaped, like the string .exe that would need escaping for the ".". Especially the latter is something that's really hard to explain to someone that just wants a basic search to work. > So you can actually already do what you want by using "wine,.exe" as search string. This isn't a good solution because that pattern would unintentionally match processes that have ".exe" in the middle of the name, e.g. "abc.exe.def". I'd use regexp "\.exe$", however System Monitor doesn't support an equivalent filter. > would need escaping for the ".". Especially the latter is something that's really hard to explain to someone that just wants a basic search to work. I don't buy this reasoning because KSysGuard existed for years and apparently no one complained. Do you have evidence it caused inconvenience to users, any bug reports? |
