A file matches the filter if its Mac file and creator types and/or its

filename extension match any of the specified types

A job folder matches the filter if any of the files at the topmost

level inside the folder match any of the specified types (or if the

list of types contains the special “Folder” type)

A list of filename pattern strings entered in a dialog; a pattern

includes one or more of the following wildcard characters (in

addition to regular characters that must match exactly):

File patterns

A file matches the filter if its filename matches any of the patterns

in the list

A job folder matches the filter if its folder name matches any of

the patterns in the list

A regular expression (i.e. a more complex pattern; see the separate

topic for more details)

Regular expression

A file matches the filter if its filename completely matches the

regular expression

A job folder matches the filter if its folder name completely

matches the regular expression

A condition expressed through variables; see Defining a condition

with variables on page 122

All other files

A common problem while creating connections from a flow element is how to capture those files

or job folders not matched by any other connection. The "All other files" filter addresses this

problem; all files or job folders that do not match one of the connections with another filter

(example: file type, file pattern, regular expression) are matched by this filter.

For example: imagine a flow element with one connection that matches all PDF files and a second

connection that matches all PostScript files. Adding a third connection where the "Include these

files" property is set to "All other files" causes all files that are not PDF or PostScript to be matched

(i.e. moved through this third connection).
