Wildcard for allowed application names.

[acos21]

I have several applications running that require a frequent update.

The files that contain the update all have a somewhat different filename (dropbox is one of them).

This results in me having to authenticate new files multiple times a day on different machines.

Any way i can allow "dropboxclient*" files to always be Allowed?

@henrypp has covered this in #463
It's a pain so for now I'm just temporarily disabling simplewalll to update/run software that does this.

Also see #494, "No, wildcard will not be implemented, ever!"
And #136, "No wildcards will be in simplewall, ever."

He's stubborn about implementing new things, but it's good to not make it a bloated mess.

You could fork and implement yourself, or create a batch file or something to write new rules to your profile xml, or to launch an app with loopback etc.

Is anybody aware of a fork or PR that implements this feature?
