Feature request: Allow wildcards when matching network names

Post by lollies »

I recently ran into a problem that was a bit of a head-scractcher until Syncback tech support helped me sort it out, I've set some profiles to only run when connected to a particular network that a NAS is present in. To do this you tell Syncback to only run if present on network "Bob". However Windows will randomly add new network profiles based on the same name with incrementing digits at the end, so you get "Bob 2", "Bob 3", "Bob 4", "Bob 5", and so on. For one network I had nine otherwise identical profiles, and since I'd specified "Bob x" instead of the "Bob y" that Windows said I was on, the profile was silently failing.

Would it be possible to allow wildcards when specifying network names to get around this Windows problem? So the network name in the example would be "Bob*" and it wouldn't matter whether Windows identified it as "Bob 3" or "Bob 7" or "Bob 1".
