Sorry if Konqueror is the wrong component, it seemed the closest match for this problem, which relates to file chooser dialogs.

In kate I wanted to open the .c files in a folder, so I selected open and navigated to the dir. The chooser allowed multiple selections so I typed *.c in the location field.

The chooser did not like this. It did not use *.c as a wildcard, nor did it recognise it as an invalid file name, and created a file called '*.c'

IMO it would be much beter if file chooser dialogs allowed wildcards when accepting multiple selections. In this case manually clicking all c files is tedious, especially when I'm used to typing *.c on the shell.
