Short description of error
Filter gives unexpected results.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

  • In the "Sequencer", "Add" -> "Image/Sequence" (sequence is named from 0001.png to 18885.png)
  • Input 1*.png in the filter
  • As result also png-files starting with other than 1 are given, for example 0001.png is given back to.

There is an invisible wildcard added at the front of the filter, that should be removed if you input your own wildcard.

This is by design:

/**
 * Like strcmp, but will ignore any heading/trailing pad char for comparison.
 * So e.g. if pad is '*', '*world' and 'world*' will compare equal.
 */

If comment is true then it also means that word is same as *world* which does seem to be the case.
