Toolkit Project Filters to support wildcards in the directory path

Enhance the functionality of the TPF Project Navigator by providing support for wildcard directory names in the definition of Project filters.
.
By using mutiple filter string definitions in a Project view you can collect together all *.asm or *.cpp files from many different source locations. This is a very useful for running a single source scans or search across mutiple source directories.
If these filter definitions were able to accept wildcards in their directory definitions it would add a bigger range possible files i could select in any one filter view.
For example all my projects are defined under the same directory tree so with a second level wildcard I could see all my *.asm files:

/home/sxts001/*/*/*.asm

From this view I could then select all the files and perform delete or search functions, currently I must use other tools like grep or simply browse each directory tree manually looking the files I need.

    Filters across directories do work today as discussed with the customer. The customer tried the function and agreed the function existed. The customer asked if it would be possible to flatten the directories to avoid having to expand all the subdirectories one at a time. The TPF Toolkit team experimented with flattening the directories in the TPF Project Navigator view and found the results to be significantly problematic. We suggest that the customer create remote actions to provide the desired functionality (such as delete and source scan). For searches, the customer can search from a right click on the filter (just make sure you select search sub folders) and the results will be shown in a separate results view.
