Tag-comment based filtering of content(like visual filter)

This would basically show only certain tags or content of the comments selected by user. It could be part of the search as well.

Some of this may be related to question/answer that is last two posts on page 5 ot File Tags thread (http://www.xyplorer.com/xyfc/viewtopic. ... a&start=60)

Yes, this will come with VL...

Tip: You can use the Selection Filter (Ctrl+M) on columns like this: "comment:honey", or "tag:red;blue", or "tag:gr*" (match Green and Grey)...

Super ! Just a little issue : if I filter on "comment:*" all the files/folders are selected, even those without comment. I expected only those having a comment.

But doesn't "*" imply a wildcard that anything satisfies? Thus even those with no comment? I agree having a way to isolate only those is needed, but above would be valid reason why it works as is now.

Also, with "tag:*", all is selected.
In fact it would be good to be able to select files/folders with any tag/comment (perhaps "tag|comment:?"), and to select files/folders without any tag/comment (perhaps "tag|comment:!?")
