Color Filters - Folder Contents

Is it possible to configure color filters to show whether a folder contains a particular type of file? Apologies if this is staring me in the face, but my scripting skills are pretty limited.

Just as an afterthought: Technically determining whether a folder is empty (for which there is a Color Filter) or whether it contains a certain file type is very similar, and it would be easy to add. The problem is that the check-for-empty returns quickly, whereas the check for a particular file type can take a while, especially if the pattern is complex. But if the pattern is very simple, e.g. "*.txt", the speed should be comparable.

Can you tell something about your actual use case?

Next beta will have them: Color Filters that tell you about the files contained in a folder. 8)
