--- Comment #5 from Rich Bowen <[email protected]> 2010-11-28 20:26:55 EST --- I'm obviously still missing the point of this ticket. This is about files with names like '.gif'? Really? The examples that we give in the documentation are intended to reflect the *most common* cases, not some bizarre edge cases. Who has files named .pdf? These examples do not forbid these file names, they merely reflect the most common scenario, in the simplest possible example. On the other hand, I'm still not clear on what you're suggesting as an alternative. Are you suggesting that the examples should *force* the filename to have something before the file extension, as in: <filesmatch .+\.(gif|png|jpg)$> My only complaint with that is that it makes the regex one step more complicated. And since regular expressions are in the top five list of things that people get confused about, I'm reluctant to make things one step more complicated.
