filter [filterspec], [flags], [filter name] - ?

Hello, Dear XYplorer Community!
I am using SC filter after preparing SC quicksearch results as a database with ";" delimiter.
Such a database contains very many file names or their parts,
so that after applaying the SC filter, the line on the top of the file list
is not completelly readable - the content of the database takes normally too many place in that line
and is normally too long.
The question is:
May be it is reasonable to add to the SC filter a flag / a switch,
which would define the text shown in the above mentioned line on the top of the list
(for example a manually defined filter name with a user difined length),
which would have an appropriate, user defined length?
Something like "filter [filterspec], [flags], [filter name]".

Already possible, eg

filter '"caption" ext:txt';

Thank you, jupe!
It works in another way for me, no single quotes:

Code: Select all

filter "caption" $db;
