--- Comment #5 from Friedrich W. H. Kossebau <kosse...@kde.org> ---
As commented on
https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/kio/-/merge_requests/1314#note_728978 I would
think that Kate actually relied on a behaviour change that was reverted in the
mean time as it broke things for filter expressions as used also in file picker
dialogs.
The current (restored) logic in KIO's KCoreDirLister for name filters matches
that of Qt for name filter properties. I.e. name filters here using the
wildcard expression syntax. Which is non-partial.
The UI pattern used in Kate's File System Browser plugin though is that of
narrowing-while-you-type. Where the expression supported usually does not
support even wildcards. Rather acts as if every letter is wrapped with
wildcards ("sf" matching also "somefile"). So IMHO Kate code would need to
convert the expression entered in the field into the syntax used for classic
wild card file system expressions, as so far used with class properties of type
"name filter".
If you agree, please move the bug back to Kate :)
