Improving inverted match

[matteobrusa]

I'd like to show only .jpg (or .JPG) files in a multilevel directory tree.
Unfortunately, from what I understand it's not currently possible to match dirs specifically.

What if dirs were matched with a trailing slash, as in:

# /file1.flac
# /file1.mp3
# /file2.mp3
# /subDir1/                <-- trailing slash
# /subDir1/file3.flac

This way it would be easy to create a regex to match jpgs or folders.
What do you think of this?

That's a good idea. You can submit a patch.

to match dirs, I used ^\/subDir1(\/|$) (escaped).
This allows to access the dir directly, and sub-elements.

Not sure it is completely correct, but it worked for me.

I believe this ^^ directory-matching technique solves the problem

[gburca]

That works, but it also matches files that are called "subDir1".

I've made a patch that appends a slash when matching directories in #31. It will however break existing filters, please suggest how to make it backwards-compatible? The other option that would work for me (since I want to allow all directories) is to add DIR to the list of filetypes to match: |type:DIR
