[Invalid] Default Omit Filter excludes files without an extension

[therube]

Default Omit Filter (regex:^[^\.]*$) excludes filenames without an extension.

So something like;

therube

.


(Directory names are found.)

I just tried this and it seems to exclude files with an extension.

When specifying an Omit filter, you can choose from type files/folders/files and folders:
Which one did you choose?

BTW: To exclude files/folders without extension,

!.

or

ext:

might be faster than

regex:^[^.]*$

(the backslash is not necessary in [^...] )

Oops, apologies..I just did a straight search. I didn't read the post properly.

(you should be the one to suggest the

!.

, @harryray. I got it from you!)

Haha, yes..I just like playing around with any regex's to try to master the dark art of regex.

I speak several different languages but I'm totally buggered when it comes to making any sense of regex

Are you referring to the Omit Result Filter that is added when you right click a file with no extension and click Omit Extension?

The added regex:^[^\.]*$ omit filter for no extension is expected.

I had a sneaky feeling...

Not being familiar with "omit"
but seem to recall dealing with "temporary excludes" - ages ago (but then no more)

And it seems I must have had that "temporary exclude" left over from times past

So when looking to see what "omit" does, I clicked, Index -> Enable Omit Results, which changed my results.
And when I went to Organize Result Omissions, I saw the above mentioned filter - pre-existing.

Checking now in a new instance, doing the same there is nothing by default when I go to Organize.

So, the above (quote) is wrong too.
Cause settings are stored in Omit Results-15.csv (in my case) & that has nothing to do with "ages ago" (unless yesterday was "ages").

That being the case, not knowing what "omit" was, in trying to understand it, farting around, somewhere along the line, I must have inadvertently created it. Then on "learning" more, saw it there, & took it to be a defaulted value - which it is not.
