Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I've built a new flow component for media conversion (see here), and would benefit from the following global flow checks:

Describe the solution you'd like

  • A "Path" check so that users can match File events from specific folders
  • A "File Extension" check so that users can match File events with file extensions

Describe alternatives you've considered
I've considered adding and registering checks for just this component, however in my opinion it might be better as a global check in the event NC adds them in the future and mine are duplicated.

Research direction

Review the linked media-converter flow component to understand its existing checks, then locate Nextcloud's global flow-check registration and file-event handling. The work is done when users can match file events by path and file extension through global checks, with appropriate coverage for both checks.
