How to enter multiple search patterns?

[pstein]

Assume I want to list only files which match the 3 different patterns then entering the following does not work:

*.pdf *.log *.jpg

Even when I concatenate them by a comma (instead of blanks) link in

*.pdf,*.log,*.jpg

it does not work.

How else can I achieve this?

Yeah, right now the API being used behind the scenes to search for files only supports a single search pattern; you can't provide multiple. You'd need to do the search 3 separate times, using *.pdf the first time, *.log the second time, and *.jpg the third time.

For the immediate time, I could update the tooltip and docs to mention that only a single search pattern is supported.

For the future, we may look at doing the filtering in the app to allow multiple search patterns, as well as being able to exclude certain patterns as well as suggested in #72. That would take a bit more dev work though. PRs are welcomed ;)
