I really like this idea a lot!


Definitivly, no

no, no ,no...

I hate to use regular expression everywhere. It's complex and not user
friendly, especially into a gui.

Take a look into photo-management application under windows and forget linux
command line here. We programming a guin, and we need a simple way to change
behaviour of text filter, using by beginners not experts !

My prefered solution is to implement a pop-up menu over the line edit widget
(like rating filter option available on status bar)

Best
