bug in rule handling of filename rules

[Knutzen, Heinz (DZ-SH)]

OK, Julian described the current implementation.
But I think a "first-match" behaviour of filename rules would 
be much more useful and less surprising than the current 
"all-matches" behaviour.

If it's not a bug I would request a feature to make this configurable.
