Add filter operators

[ggamba]

In ePager - Sticky windows, filter operator has the following options: "equals, begins with, ends with, contains, matches", while in lswitcher it seems to me that we just have "equals".

This is a problem here, as lot of programs change their title, so if for example I add "OS/2 - Home - Thunderbird" to "Taskbak - Icons only", at next reboot, when Thunderbird starts as "Inbox - Home - Thunderbird", the existing filter will not work.
The same problem happens with PSI, or jEdit.

(component should be "widget", not "documentation", of course!)

Gabriel, you can modify it yourself: There's a "Modify" link above the light yellow box and on the right of your bug entry.

Andreas, thank you, got it!

we do have rudimentary wildcards:

? and * work for single character and string, Gabriele. Were you asking for something more like regex matching?

You should be able to add something for "OS/2 - Home - Thunderbird" as:

* - Thunderbird

or simply:

*Thunderbird

I've made all sorts of great discoveries as I've been revamping the help guide for 2.9.0. Please test and let us know if this addresses your needs without full regex matching.

Unless someone objects I am going to close this as worksforme on the basis of the wildcard matching. I didn't know about that either.

I sent an email to Gabriele since the TRAC's notification system isn't very user friendly. I will give him a couple of days to respond before closing this.

I received this via email. Closing worksforme

I just tried and "*" did the trick (that was, create a "Icon only" filter for Thunderbird), thanks a lot!!
