Title: gtkfilechooser should support wildcard filtering in location field Status in GTK+ GUI Toolkit: Won't Fix Status in One Hundred Paper Cuts: Invalid Status in “gtk+2.0” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: When opening a file using the File Open Dialog, there may be potentially hundreds of files of the same type to choose from (e.g. open office documents). The current File Open Dialog provides no quick mechanism to filter out the files that you're looking for. Say you know that the file begins with "christmas". You should be able to enter the wildcard "christmas*" in the location field and the file list should only shows those files that begin with christmas. This would help users find files quickly without having to step through hundreds of files. In short, the location field of the File Open Dialog should support the entry of wildcards such that it filter out the files that match the wildcard.
