allow wildcard selection for the directory path.

Ideally, I would like to be able to say to fslint "if there are two
duplicates, and one of them is in a path with the word 'temp' in it, then
delete that one, but not if both are in temp."

OK we support wildcard selection, but you would like an additional safeguard to not
auto select all members in a duplicate group. That could be done as a prompt at
delete/merge time like "Are you sure you want to delete all copies of ...?"

Yes, that would be a nice feature. I think the problem is also that I do not know how
to use wildcards correctly. The folder of one of the duplicates is in
/home/scott/skDELETE so I tried to select it with a wildcard selection *skDELETE and
with *skDELETE and neither got it. I will do some research on wildcard selection
because I'm thinking this is my problem, not fslint's.

The wildcard selection works on the full path of each item, not just the directory
portion.
I.E. | file | /path/to/ | is changed to /path/to/file before matching.
