Description =JeffH 2007-07-04 01:25:09 UTC 
Version:           1.20.01 (using KDE KDE 3.5.4)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages
OS:                Linux

It would be really nice to support, for example, full regex processing in the "Named:" field (aka filename field) in the "Name/Location" tab. 

A usability device here would be to have the "Named:" field processing to default to it's present (very limited, but simple) expression processing, and then have a switch somewhere to allow it to do full regex processing.

My driving use case is my need to be able to express, for example, " *.pdf or *.ps or *.txt " (i realize this is not a regex, it's just for illustration-of-the-use-case purposes).
