Controlling the filter/search
#1
Hi,

would it be possible to implement some change that would allow controlling the filter (to narrow the list) in the container?

What i would like to be able to do within my plugin:
1. get filter string - to know what is currently set
2. set filter string - to set up some filter (empty string would disable filter)
3. preserve filter bool - toggle preserve set up filter after i go back to itemlist (currently filter gets lost once I open an item from the filterred list)

My idea behind this change: i have list that contains 1000+ items and I would like to implement additional right-click option on an item to filter similar items in the list (according to some specific logic). For instance if I have single directory containing episodes of various tv shows, I would like to right-click on 1 episode and select "filter similar" .. which will set up filter within this itemlist... so i will eventually get the list containing episodes of that one particular tv show...without need to use keyboard(or virtual keyboard) to type the filter text.

does anybody find this interesting?
