We should add a filter box to the problems view, similar to the error view.

Carsten, also something for your UIX initiative?

Avoiding a Duplicate....

The (GIT) History View has a useful easy to use Find capability to locate items of interest. This is a temporary setting that reverts back to normal. Useful.

The Problems View has Filters that are painful and permanent. I only change them for a New Workspace to show 1000 entries.

Suppose I want to focus my code clean up on a message that does not have a distinct prefix e.g.

"Collection is a raw type. References to generic type Collection<E> should be parameterized"

How do I get to see just all the "* should be parameterized" messages? Hard. I don't know. The Filters are too unfriendly. There isn't even an Export to CSV facility, so perhaps a fragile cut and paste to another tool is the solution.

Please add a (GIT) History-like quick filter to permit text match filtering.

NB This facility is much more important than perhaps 5 years ago because we now have so many more categories of warnings to work on.

But not wasting two lines of the view.

The History View is sensibly folded into the tool bar with extra selectors for the column in which to match text.
