whitelist globbing

[curiosity-seeker]

I was trying to rewrite/streamline my Firejail profile for LibreOffice. One rule which I tried was

whitelist ~/*.odt

but that doesn't work. It does work, though, in the form

whitelist ~/Example.odt

So it seems that placeholders are not supported. This would be a very useful enhancement in Firejail, indeed!

I'll implement it, thanks for the idea!

Great - thank you very much in advance!

BTW, it would be nice if one could add several file suffixes in one line if possible. Something like

whitelist ~/*.odt, *.doc, *.docx

or

whitelist ~/*.odt | *.doc | *.docx

just to keep the profile more readable.

I'll try that one also.

Maybe in Bash syntax:
whitelist ~/*.{odt,doc,docx}

several similar requests to follow:

Also allow {}

And []

Any updates on this?
