Path Patterns

Search filters, hidden attributes, job source paths, and event triggers in go-drive use doublestar-style path patterns. Paths have no leading / and use / as the separator.

Pattern	Meaning
*	Matches any number of non-/ characters within one directory level
?	Matches one non-/ character
**	Spans zero or more directory levels
[abc]	Matches one character from the set
{a,b}	Matches alternatives where this syntax is supported

Examples:

a/*.js       matches a/x.js, but not a/sub/x.js
a/**/*.js    matches a/x.js and a/sub/x.js
**/.git/**   matches .git contents at any level
photos/202?  matches photos/2020 through photos/2029

Individual features add their own syntax around the pattern: each search-filter line also begins with + or -, while thumbnail mappings use tag:<pattern>.

Test wildcard delete and move jobs in a test directory first. ** may match a very large directory tree.
