File Open - wild card search
Submitted by Anonymous on Thursday, 19 February, 2004 - 20:38
I recently started using jEdit on Windows platform. I like it a lot but there is one feature that I don't like and I was wondering if there is a way to do this.

On most Windows apps, File Open dialog has a "File Name" field that I can type the exact name of the file or do a wild card search. jEdit seems to expect user to type in the exact name or use "Filter" field to do wild card search. It is more convenient to be able to do both from the same field because sometime you don't remember (or don't want to type) long file names.

Is there a way to do this in jEdit?

Thanks.
