Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/5766

Quick question:
I like to add a whitelist dir with:
whitelist /media/data/my video's

When running i get the error: * is an invalid filename

Is it possible to escape this? - I did try with backslash, but no success..
Is it not possible?

Actually it should work. Looks like you use an older firejail version.
