Description Victor Varvaryuk 2011-04-20 08:46:47 UTC 
Version:           2.3.0 (using KDE 4.6.2)

The file name mask is not allowed empty.
Please change the behavior to accept empty search string as equivalent to '*'.

Reproducible: Always

Not a problem!? The "*" regex is equal to an empty search string.

Mmm... that isn't filed as a bug, but as a "wishlist". Since other programs (like Total Commander) accept an empty string when searching, and some users have to use one operating system or another... and it's useful for them that some things work the same way anywhere... what about leaving this still opened as a "wishlist"?
Comment 4 Alex Bikadorov 2017-05-28 18:38:20 UTC 
Sure, I don't care. "*" is the default search name, so I see no benefit of support an empty string.
