Quoting [Ceriel Jacobs] (Nov 26 2007):
The other radical approach could be: remove file name wildcards alltogether...
But the SAGA specs are quite specific that wildcards MUST be implemented, so I assume that they are required by several use-cases?
We do not have a hard requirement for wildcards (no use case explicetliy mentiones them). Several users/use cases did, however, express the request for shell like file handling semantics - that is where we took the wildcard requirement from. So, yes, dropping would actually be an option we should consider, but it would be a pity IMHO. Andre.
