enhancement: filtering by glob pattern and file attributes

[GoogleCodeExporter]

i think it would be nice being able to filter folder contents in a few ways:
- by inclusive and exclusive glob patterns -- or one pattern with a flag to 
invert its meaning
- by file permission/type, e.g. having flags for executables, folders, links 
along the already existing one for hidden files

some use cases might be:
- in a "documents" folder, showing several types of documents while hiding all 
backup files
- in a "projects" folder, showing only ide projects while hiding source and 
object files
- in a "virtualbox vm" folder, showing only .vbox files, quickly obtaining a 
dynamic menu to start virtual machines from

Hi Matteo,

While cool, I think this feature kind of goes against the description pf the 
app"

"It is not intended as replacement to proper file managers..."

Anyway, I'll take it as a low-priority maybe.
