Unfortunately, that doesn't work well for my purposes. Here is the situation:
I have a real folder, filled with subfolders of pictures that change frequently. Using HTML code in the comment file, I've been able to display a thumbnail for each of these subfolders (all stored in the same place, all named with the same structure). However, every time I add or remove a folder, I need to update the comment file. If there was one generic comment for all these folders, There would be no need.
At the moment, my comment file looks like this:
Folder1=<img src="thumbs/%temname%.jpg">
Folder2=<img src="thumbs/%temname%.jpg">
Folder3=<img src="thumbs/%temname%.jpg">
All the comments are the same, and I have to manually add/delete a line every time I add, remove or change a subfolder
if there was a default comment tag or if wildcards were supported, I could simply have one line in my comment file that says something like
*=<img src="thumbs/%temname%.jpg">
Which would apply to all items in the folder. There may need to be some handling and verification, like to see if there's a comment set for a cpecific file (which would override the default), but I think this could be a defenite improvement.
