FSlint “Select using wildcard” feature
To specify a whole path you would enter:
/Backup/Pictures/Trips/*
to select all files with ous in the name, use *ous*
to select all files with four letter names, use ????

Searching for a folder-name can be better described as follows:
Search: /*foldername*
Search: /*?old??name*
Being on linux, not windows, I can use special characters which windows does not support. However, fslint has had problems dealing matching them. It doesn’t throw an error but it doesn’t match them either. So, ‘skipping’ some folders with such characters using the asterisks and question-marks solves my issue.
