I was able to find documentation for ?! (negative look-ahead), but I never used this. I'll ask a couple naive questions to make sure I understand how this works.
Surrounding () makes it a non-capturing group, is that right ?
So, the content of match is unchanged when the search does succeed (good), but we now reject file names that have more than one substring matching \d{4} ?
If the goal is to only match the file name (excluding the directory), a simpler fix would be

@neutrinoceros You are right. I wanted to just make this take the last match with 4 digits as it contains the filename. But I think what you are suggesting is also pretty good and will work.

Ok, since this is a pretty different approach I'll open a separate PR then.
