Hello,

just tried to use the `?` wildcard, but it doesn't work. According to the help file the filter `IMG_????.tif` should find all image files like f.e. `IMG_1234.tif`, `IMG_1235.tif` and so on (but not `IMG_1234_changed.tif`). In FFS 7.8 (windows) no files are selected, neither in exclude nor in include filter.

best regards
Erik

The filter phrase always needs to be a match for the complete relative path:
