More Feature requests

First, thanks to the author(s) for writing and making AllDup available as freeware.
I'd like to make it my main anti-duplicate program, but I can't find a few features that I would find necessary. If they're already there, I'd appreciate it if someone can point out how to find them. If not, please consider adding them soon.
1). A selection that says mark all files within a user-selectable folder (rather than marking the _duplicates_ of those files, or only a source folder, both of which are there currently).
2) A selector that says mark all files matching a text pattern with wildcards (and even better, able to specify whether to match the path or the file name).
3) In the file listing, a choice that puts the clicked-on file path in the user-supplied selector folder (the existing one only puts it in the filter).
4) Please consider revising the selectors to add a checkbox or setting to allow each new selection to add to or replace currently-checked items --or to act as a deselector (right now, 3 offer delesectors, but not the rest).
5)) I see others have suggested being able to limit the selectors to highlighted files, and the reply was this wasn't possible. I hope it might be at some point. And to go with that, the ability to sort the list by each of the provided columns.
TIA for any consideration you can give to these suggestions.
