+Regexp don't works in some dialogs

[Ovg]

TC 850 & 851b1 x32/x64 Win 7 x32/x64

Regexp don't works in some dialogs (set color for files or add custom columns from file overwrite dialog).

The bug is either in the caption text or the bug is that regexp is not working in those dialogs.

02.03.14 Fixed: Various dialogs didn't support regular expressions (with '<' prefix) although the dialog text suggested it: Colors by file type, help texts (hints) by file type, overwrite dialog custom fields, synchronize compare filters, and thumbnail texts by file type (32/64)

Tested OK except "synchronize compare filters". Is this the filter at the top middle in the Synchronize directories dialog?

In this top middle field regexp is not working for me, only wildcards and filenames. When I try use regexp here error window "Function not supported" appears. Seems bug stilll here.

No, that one doesn't support regular expressions. It's the following:
In the sync dialog, enable "By content". Then click on small ">>" or "++" button to the right of "By content".

This can be used to compare certain file types with different compare plugins, e.g. a text comparer which ignores the line break type (Windows/Unix) in the internal "tc" plugin.

Tried it using TC 8.51b2 32bit. Does NOT work!

Ok, but may be you'll have to correct help:

"Dialog box: Synchronize directories

.... and (if necessary) the file types (wildcards), using the middle combobox. See Select Files how to include/exclude files by wildcards ...."

Open link Select files and we can see:

"Selecting files

...you can now also use regular expressions. They need to be started with a "<" character, to distinguish them from normal search strings...."

Tested OK using TC 8.51b3 32bit.

Thanks!

Btw, I wanted to implement RegEx also in the main sync function (the edit box between the two paths), but i can't. The reason: Users can make case-sensitive searches with RegEx. This could have the bad effect that a file is only found on one side when it has different case on the other side...

Tested OK using TC 8.51b3 32bit.

Tested OK using TC 8.51b3 64 bit.

What about converting all filenames (internally) to lowercase, and also converting RegEx expression to lowercase?
