I realize that a related change has now been checked into Emacs CVS.
A related lisp/Changelog entry from 2004-12-12 Juri Linkov <juri@jurta.org>:
(find-file-at-point): When filename matches ffap-dired-wildcards, call
ffap-file-finder with t arg `wildcards', instead of dired.
I find that this change interrupts my workflow, as I'm so used to
doing e.g. C-x C-f /tmp/log.* RET etc, to get a nice dired listing of
files, and then I can choose one. Would you consider making the new
behavior an option which is enabled by default which I can then
disable, to preserve my normal workflow? How about the following
patch. Let me know you think.
Thanks,
Benjamin Rutt
