Thanks for reporting !

I generally would agree that a filter-feature would be nice, though what you
propose (a multi-tree) looks very complex.
E.g. it's not that easy to tell programmatically which file-types belong to the
category "image", "archive", etc.  .. and I dont want to maintain lists.

I would keep it more simple .. e.g. you could write  .png into a filter text
field. That would show you all .png files.
Like e.g. dolphin currently does.

I dont think that a  filter feature would be used often enough to justify a
place in the - already crowded - context menu. IMO should be sufficient to
access filtering via the menu (or via shortcut)

Since we already have a bug regarding a filter feature, I will close this one.

Patches on the original bug would be very welcome !
(I will not have time to work on it in the near future)
