Editing Common Search Patters for the Create Virtual Folder Dialog

Purpose

Allows editing of the file-search patterns that appear on the fly out menu to the right of the Patterns: field in the Create Virtual Folder dialog as shown with the default entries below:

Up to twenty patterns can be added to the menu
To load FileBoss's default patterns, press the Delete All button and then OK to close the dialog. The default patterns will be loaded and will be available for editing the next time the dialog is opened.
Patterns can have two parts: display and entry.
The first part of the pattern is displayed on the fly out.
The second part is loaded into the patterns field when that pattern is selected.
The two parts are separated by the close chevron character, >.
If the close chevron is not present in the string, the whole string will be displayed both on the fly out and entered into the field when selected.
For example the string:
Word (*.doc; *.rtf)>*.doc | *.rtf
would display, Word (*.doc;*.rtf) on the fly out and enter *.doc | *.rtf in the patterns field when selected.
