Feature request: wildcards or regex in directory filter
I don't know how feasible this is, but a feature that I have never seen in any editor is the ability to use a wildcard or regex in the directory path filter for functions such as search/replace and open files. Imagine in the "Find/Replace in Files->Specified Path" if I could specify something like: C:\dita\*\products\testproduct\user Where my directory structure contained a list of country codes where the * would go. I've been writing scripts to accommodate these kind of actions. The same functionality would be useful for opening files also. I often want to open a map and all of the translations of that map across many directories. C:\dita\*\products\testproduct\user\testmap.ditamap I'm curious how difficult something like that would be.

Hello Matthew, Actually wildcards are already supported in the "Open/Find Resource" view and dialog (Ctrl+Shift+R). However, I see that there is a bug here in that you are actually searching across URLs, not file paths. The dialog is misleading when it mentions file paths. This means it won't work when searching for C:\dita\*\products\testproduct\user but it will work correctly when searching for: file:/C:\dita\*\products\testproduct\user or the simpler: *C:\dita\*\products\testproduct\user I've submitted an issue on our issue tracking tools so that file paths (which are actually the ones advertised) will also be supported. Regarding the "Find/Replace in Files", I've logged a separate feature request to support wildcards for directories.
