I20070809-0010 The Team > Ignored Resources preference page should describe what patterns are supported. Problems: - Preference page description talks about "resource name patterns", should be "resource name or path patterns" - "Add Pattern..." dialog: - dialog title should be "Add Pattern" or "Add Ignore Pattern" (same as button name) - should describe what wildcards are available and how paths are resolved (e.g. does /*/a/* only match files in /xyz/a/, or also in /x/y/z/a/b/c/ , or are these full Ant patterns with **, etc. ?)
Markus, do you mind if we put an information about wildcards into the page's context help (under F1)?

But I still think the dialog should - tell that name or path patterns can be entered - tell which wildcard characters are supported, like e.g. the Package Explorer's filers dialog: "Enter a name or path pattern (* = any string, ? = any character):"

I'm not sure if this new label is more clear than the last one. I would make the label simple like "Add a resource name pattern" and add the help to the dialog with samples or I would add more examples in brackets at least.
As a label, I think I would prefer Markus suggestion. However, I agree that we should add some help to give some examples of how to specify name and path patterns.

There are some errors in the help (F1) like "matches all .doc file in" instead of "matches all .doc files in". We should open a new bug for updating "Creating a global ignore pattern" in the help. I would add a help icon in the bottom-left corner of the dialog. Maybe it would be good to open a bug for InputDialog to add the help button.

Do we have a bug for this?
