Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: sbackup
In simple-backup-config 0.10.4, if one clicks "Add" on the "Exclude" tab
and "Regex" subtab, a dialog called "Exclude by regex" appears with the
text "$.*\.mp3^" in the text field. However, this is a useless and
nonsensical regex, since it places the end of the string before the end.
A more useful default would be "^.*\.mp3$".
This is potential very confusing to any user, especially those
unfamiliar with regular expressions. I had used them before I ran
simple-backup-config, but had not written a regex for a while, so I
assumed that the default was reasonable and didn't look up the
significance of the '^' and '$' characters. I replaced the "mp3" with
the substring I wished to match and was surprised when the desired path
wasn't excluded.
