Filtering in the file tree #436

Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
In my use case, I often extract many more files than the default - my current base limit is 2000, with a profile allowing 15k for extreme cases. The UI is not prepared to work with such numbers: finding files triggering specific heuristics requires scrolling, no option for any filtering etc. Sometimes I also want to find files of a specific type, name or extension. The search from the web browser helps, but it's not the most convenient way.

You can see a small example here - this is not the most extreme, just one "extending" of the file tree.

Describe the solution you'd like
I'd love to see filtering options for the files tree, allowing for operations like: searching for file names (and extensions), searching for files with the given heuristic, file type or a given minimum score. Searching should support wildcards.

Describe alternatives you've considered
The first alternative could be to trigger filtering when clicking on the heuristic, but it would cover just one case.
