I have not encounterd that behavior, and indeed I use wildcards all the 
time.  I have a sample of my conversion section of my INI file at
 www.techknowledgecorp.com/tips.html -- it's the sixth item in the Frame 
Things table.  One consideration that's always been true is that if you 
need specific entries, you should place them before the wildcards.

That's always been true: A linked graphic redraws slower than an embedded.
