Globbing does not work on NTFS partitions

[mateor]

This is a known issue and should be investigated.

I think maybe this is more about how windows and cygwin handles external drives. A user reported that the same issue happened on a fat32 drive ( a known supported FS) and in my tests with a NTFS-formatted thumb drive from a linux box, NTFS as a FS is not the problem.

It seems this may be more related to the way cygwin or Windows handles external drives. The user in #204 reports that a thumb drive formatted to fat32 ( a known supported FS) exhibits the same behavior. And in my tests on a linux box, a thumb drive formatted to NTFS worked fine.

So more about external drives than anything else, perhaps. auto-patcher 3.0 worked in these situations, so it is almost certainly an issue with the patch_matcher or content_editor functions I created for 3.1+.

But those functions are necessary. I already dumbed them way way down for cygwin with some pretty awkward constructions since cygwin was choking on some of the pipes (find . -name | xargs had to be changed into several steps, for instance). Hmmmmm.
