Or Gaist (ID: 000000edbabd8448) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/18/2020 YES! it's simple (if you know Regex,if not Regex101) and it works. what more can I ask? Thanks for making this

Jakub Maciejczyk (ID: 0000000507a427b8) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 12/28/2019 Custom regex doesn't work

Johan Heyvaert (ID: 000000275dd5cc3c) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 09/18/2018 I don't mind defining the rule via regex, but it does not seem to work. Even the simplest regex does not work. Very strange, as the default regex works fine?!

Bernhard Rieder (ID: 0000000a658dd0c2) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 11/19/2017 I was looking forward to this extension. Using regexes for matches and group references in the Folder would be a nice feature, if it only worked. For instance I have: Rgx: \.jpg$ Folder: /home/bernhard/images But it does not work (and i tried it on lower case links to avoid case sensitivity issues)

Fabián Valencia (ID: 000000a3c5d37f5c) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 05/10/2017 Extensions should be easy, they are here to solve a problem not to create another. We don't want to mess around with crazy formulas!
