Add the possibility to add several file patterns

I just wanted to add my support behind this idea. It would be great to be able to configure Gimp to open preselected file types (*.png,*.jpg,.*gif) instead of having to include all files (*.) in the File Pattern box.

Thanks for the software!

I'm not sure that it can be useful to open an image with the gimp. You can already do it with the "Open with" options.
On the other hand, it could be useful if you want to launch a bunch of files all at once, because for the moment, nautilus open each file in a different applications and you can only select the default "Open" options when selecting several files. But it is more a kind of bug or feature missing in nautilus than something for nautilus-actions.
Nautilus-actions is more about doing something special with the files. For images it can be convert in another format, or resize them.

I'm writing an action that is supposed to launch gthumb --slideshow with the current selection, and so I need it to work with all image types (where 'all' means jpg, jpeg and png for my own usage).

Sorry that I didn't think of this before I posted the first comment ...
What about supporting scripted patterns, where we could supply a script that is passed all the selected file and folders, and we can just return 0 or 1 if we want that particular action to be available?

As a sidenote, I just figured that I can make several actions; one for jpg, one for jpeg and one for png as a temporary solution :-)
