Filters - Let's Talk

There are two areas that need to be addressed in folder and file filters.
-
**Are they required for version 1.x ** - Are they absolutely essential for a first release ?
-
Filter Patterns - When they are implemented, what do they look like?
Filter patterns generally fall into two types.
-
Structured. This type of filtering helps make everything easy for the user but can be less efficient for UI entry. As an example, a structured filter for a file might be "Include File Where FilenameExtension Matches Pattern tmp*" - this is how it would be displayed in the UI, with a list of multiple entries. Some would be exclude, folders, size between, isHidden, etc.
-
Patterns. This would be a simple list of text, one for include, one for exclude. for example, in the exclude it might have *.tmp, \folder, \filename.ext, and a separate options for Hidden and other attributes. The validation of these is more up to the user, but easy to edit, copy and paste.
Thoughts ?
