Apply multitail's filtering to many files passed via wildcard

multitail has a nice regex-based filtering mechanism that is described in the manpage and online manual. Both sources state that log lines matching a given regex can be excluded from output using the -ev switch: multitail -ev "ignorelinescontainingthis" /var/log/whatever.log -ev "alsoignorethis" /var/log/another.log This does, however, not seem to work for filtering many log files that are passed using wildcards: multitail -ev "thisdoesntwork" /var/log/myservice*.log Is there a way to get this to work? For analysis purposes, I tried the -ec switch (which highlights regex matches) and it turns out that the filter is only applied to the first file in the wildcard list, but none of the other ones.
