filetype: enable matching dotfiles

Question

filetype/filextype doesn't match dotfiles. Is there a setting I need to toggle?

See :help vifm-globs here:

* means any number of any characters (including slash) and can match an empty substring, with one exception: asterisk at the pattern beginning doesn't match dot in the first position.

So you might need to list the same pattern but with a leading dot, for example:

filetype *.ext,.*.ext ...
