Binary package hint: sbackup
In simple-backup-config 0.10.4, if one clicks "Add" on the "Exclude" tab and "Regex" subtab, a dialog called "Exclude by regex" appears with the text "$.*\.mp3^" in the text field. However, this is a useless and nonsensical regex, since it places the end of the string before the end. A more useful default would be "^.*\.mp3$".
This is potential very confusing to any user, especially those unfamiliar with regular expressions.

I replaced the "mp3" with the substring I wished to match and was surprised when the desired path wasn't excluded.
