Change Details

{F9932853 size=full} This patch adds support for filtering out rows based on rules and values. Filters will work for any attribute data source, they are a property of the spreadsheet rather than of the attribute system. The properties displayed in the row filter can depend on data type of the currently visible column with that name. If the name is no longer visible, the row filter will remember its data type until a column with that name is visible again. **Implementation Questions** * I would like to only display "Selected Only" in edit mode, but that depends on caching the data after a redraw, which I haven't been able to get working yet. * The comments in `screen.c` combined with tagging the sidebar for redraw after the main region point to a lack of understanding or some technical debt, not sure. **Future Improvements** * This patch doesn't contain a search of visible columns when adding a new filter. That's separate enough that I think it makes sense to push that with a separate patch later. * Filtering based on instance names could be added as a separate patch or included in this patch, it isn't currently though. This patch is available in the `temp-spreadsheet-row-filter` branch.
