Hi,
didnt find it w/ search, so here is my question:
Is it possible to use regex in the "on the fly" filter in my file display window (by typing "*"). Doesnt seem to work and since it works perfectly fine in the rename dialog im just wondering....
It works fine here
You can use wildcards but not regular expressions in the on-the-fly filter.
*feature request ;D
leo, take a look at my post - it really works

That's a wildcard expression. (It's also a valid regular expression expression but that's just luck.)
( | ) all work with wildcards, too. (In Opus, anyway. The definition of a wildcard varies, of course.)
btw the [0-9] is not working for me... e.g. when u try [4-7] im still getting all digits
I'm having problems between FIND and FILTER.
I first attempted to use (Hot). in the filter and I did not get what I expected. I got any file name with "hot" in it but without the () surrounding the word. So if my filenames were:
1 (Hot).day
Hot 2.day
Tomorrow will be (Hot).too
2hot 2 han.dle
I got the 2nd file and the last file only when I wanted the 1st and 3rd.
I changed the FILTER to (Hot).* and now I get all 4 lines which still isn't what I expected. Also (Hot) gave me the same results.
Then I went to Help and it said I could use regular or REGEX in the FILTER. I changed the FILTER to (.)(Hot)(.) which didn't return anything at all.
Then I went to FIND and used the same REGEX as in the previous filter using "Name" matches and it worked perfectly.
Unless I'm doing something wrong the FILTER is not processing () or \ properly. Am I doing something wrong? I'm using 10.0.4.0.4488 on an x-64 system.
( and ) are wildcard characters and need to be escaped, e.g. '(Hot').
See the manual for more information: gpsoft.com.au/help/opus10/de ... Syntax.htm
Using regular expressions along with the apostrophe I was successful. I never realized that regular expression even had an escape character.
But still I don't understand why using REGEX along with the FILTER (.)(Hot)(.) which as I understand is properly escaped I did not return anything. Can you explain this?
Leo explained it 3 years and 29 days ago 
The quick filter doesn't support regex.
