Clear story! And would be great to have this in the future.
I do not want to mess up its formatting, so add my single question here: How do I currently set the dbFilter? I know of (only) the header search, but I still did not manage to combine it with the treeFilter, so it seams. A simple use case description is appreciated. So I am sensitive to usability :-) Unfortunately a bad designer in this respect. Joost.
