Since wishlists are starting up again, I'll add my two cents:

I'd like a way to select disjoint parts of a file name and have them behave
as wildcards, eg., FILEname.EXT (where the caps are selected/highlighted)
would select any file with 'name.' in it and fILENAME.ext would select any
file starting with 'f' and ending with '.ext'.

An extension to the standard file dialog to allow multiple selection
would accomplish the same thing and eliminate the problem of applications
not supporting multiple selection or using different mechanisms like
shift-click, drag, cmmd-S, cmmd-A, etc.

Please fix my pet peeve in system 7.0.
