When the displayed file list contains hundreds or thousands of
files/directories, and you don't know the first letters of their name,
looking for a substring or a fuzzy pattern by hand with your eyes and
via scrolling qualifies as not-at-all trivial.

The question is about a GUI file manager with a specific feature, not
about a command line way of doing it.

The debian-user list is a communication medium where each and any user
of Debian, from "newbie" to "expert" to ask questions and share their
knowledge about the project and its features.

While many users are comfortable with "posting bugs" and "filing
issues", some are not, and are more used to ask for help. It's not
laziness, it's a state of mind. And you probably have relatives who do
the same.

If you have troubles with such users, you can just ignore their mails
and answer to the things that you feel are interesting for you. This
would spare you some time, and a part of the Community wouldn't feel
driven out by another one.

Being eager to live in a world where everyone is not the same, and where
people feel like using the Distribution I contribute to, I'd rather you
not chosing for me which user has a right to ask questions here.

Kind regards.

It's far easier to fight for one's principles than to live up to them.
