Visual filter suggestions.

A couple of ideas because I find these feature useful in other file managers:

Visual filter by size of file - useful for checking for the same file under a different name.
Visual filter by date - better than sorting by date if only one specific date is required.

Give a name to a visual filter - One file manager uses the format "Name: filter" another ">Name". It makes it much easier to identify complex filters.

Yes, I support all that. TC has already those features. But XY is yet young regarding TC.
But I guess that is a point of time, isn't it Don ?

I remember asking "column-wise visual filter" last year, Don said it's not implemented for performance reasons.
@Don: Has the situation changed since last year?

Yes, I like it. But later.
