Total Commander

It would be desirable, that the option "RegExp" was automatically checked at a type of regular expressions (\d $1 etc.) in dialogues Search (F7), Multi-Rename Tool (Ctrl+M), Lister (F3).

Optionally of course, I would freak out if I tried to search for [face=courier]*|*.bat[/face] and regex would automatically be checked all of the sudden. Generally I'm against any feature where the program tries to think for me, MS Word being the worst example for that

It is not a regexp. Regexps often include backslashes \d and buxes $1 $2.

MS Word and regexps not for power users.
Regexps and regexps in MS Word for power users.

It is. It doesnt make much sense, but it is.

Yeah that is what I meant

In the search function for file names, you can type < to turn on the regex checkbox. This is possible because < isn't allowed in file names.

In the expand selection dialog (Num+), the < key is the only way to enter regular expressions manually.

Nice hints, thanks!

Like SansFritz, I'm against this feature.
Better to control it by hands.
