             Summary: Skip non-config files in Dictionary enumeration
                 Key: FELIX-6543
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-6543
             Project: Felix
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Configuration Admin
            Reporter: Peter Kriens


Configuration Admin enumerates a directory to find existing configuration files. This enumeration skips temporary files but it does not check of the file is actually a configuration file.

I can create a PR that changes line [https://github.com/apache/felix-dev/blob/eb99876e44791648939cb0fc7fdee22f00ed27b8/configadmin/src/main/java/org/apache/felix/cm/file/FilePersistenceManager.java#L884] so that only files with the .config extension are enumerated.

This is problematic for a customer since they might have alternative files in this directory. Although this might not be the best practice, some file systems add files, like Apple adds a `.DS_Store` file and sometimes you a .gitignore in testing directories. Also, the current code can as far as I know not create any but ending in `.config` so enumerating other files is fragile.

Would such a PR be acceptable in principle?
