DK feature suggestion revisited: group by file name

[Gilles Caulier]

Using RegEx into user interface, never. This is unintuive for basic user
which do not know regex.

An alternative can be awrap around regex to manage pre-configured mime type
to group.

In other words, using regex in source code is fine, but ths must be not
visible in user interface.

Note : please comment on bugzilla directly, Mailing lists are automatically
