Well,
Please don't blame me for missing your point which was, as I understood, that it's impossible to finite sets in use.

In your last post you motivated another point of view, that's how I see it.

What I don't know is how

is possible, unless it's the order of regex set in Preferences to blame? Answer on this question will help me to better understand regex, and indirectly PVD functioning.

rick.ca:
The expressions are processed in order—until a match is found. So if one is added to a position in the list after an existing one that already matches, it won't be processed. The fact of a match does not mean the existing expression does so correctly. Not only does the added expression have to match, preceding expressions that aren't meant to match have to not match.

But I think you've illustrated a bigger flaw in the idea. Most users don't understand regex, and are therefore reluctant to accept one of the necessary evils: either (1) learn enough about regex to make the modification necessary so your filenames are correctly recognized, or (2) change your filenames so they are recognized by the default regex. Providing a list will only appeal to those who want to do neither, and shift the pain onto those maintaining the list. I think I'll save my energy for those interested in helping themselves.

Now I'm confused. In my last post I said that it's not clear to me how it's possible for a proven regex not to work, unless it is not set in the right place in Preferences, then you confirmed it won't work if it's not set in a right place in Preferences, then you said that I've illustrated a bigger flaw in the idea?

And my idea was exactly to save your energy, which you undoubtedly spend a lot, and I personally thank you for that.

I don't understand why. You asked a question. I answered it fully. I hope it's not because your question was rhetorical. ::)

My opinion that the idea is flawed was a separate idea, stated in a separate paragraph. I'm sorry if you feel it's a rejection of your idea. But after considerable thought (which I think is evident from my previous posts), it's one I believe is reasonable and with which I'm perfectly comfortable.

I asked it hopefully you'd answer something different than me.
