Actually, as Oleg pointed out, you can type an arbitrary path into the "In folders" input field. This did not occur to me because I was thinking of it as a pure drop-down and the text is misleading.
I notice that the regex option kills the J session if you specify an expression with a leading asterisk but at least this is consistent with what the underlying regex handler does.
