   	As a user in most cases you are only interested in files that are complete and would like to filter only files that are complete. 
   	To handle these scenarios you can use the filtering support provided by the <code>filename-pattern</code>, <code>filename-regex</code>
   	and <code>filter</code> attributes. Here is an example that uses a custom Filter implementation.
