I have some warnings come up which I would like to suppress from the GUI without adding inline suppressions. In the project Warning options tab I can add a suppression, and it works for global suppression. If I try to qualify it by adding a filename then it stops suppressing the error altogether. I can get it to work if I put the full path name as the filename, but I don't really want to do that as it makes everything specific to the layout on my machine. I can also make it work by prefixing the filename with * which is what I will do for now. But that doesn't seem right either as it could match other files in subdirectories.

I have also tried setting a root path, using forward slashes, backslashes, double backslashes, trailing slash. No joy there either.

Is there a way to make this work or is it a bug?

This is the latest cppcheck 2.5 downloaded yesterday and running on Windows.
