Allow files based on name

[iurisilvio]

I want to add some folders to IMAGES_PATH, but don't want all files exposed.

I'm thinking about something like:

IMAGES_PATH = [("/my/static", "*allowed*"), "/static"]
# or
IMAGES_PATH = ["/my/static/*allowed*", "/static"]

This way, I'll expose /my/static/allowed.png, but not /my/static/private.png. It is easy to implement it and I have a perfect use case for this feature.

Of course I can just extend and hack the find_img, but I'm looking for a better API.

Do you think it is useful for the project?

I think it might not be general enough use case to be directly supported, and would personally go for extending the class and replacing find_img.

I'm happy to hear opposing arguments though. shrugs

I agree with you. I'll subclass my Images and override the find_img.
