When working with quick outline for large classes that are using lot of inner classes (e.g. most of Eclipse's own UI classes) existing filter became quite useless because it does not allow to specify context. I suggest to allow to specify Ant-like regexps for context, use '/' as context divider (usually for outer classes) and "**" to choose any parent context. Then you can specify filter like this "**/visit*" to show all visit*() methods in all inner classes, or "**/SomeClass/get*" to show all getters on SomeClass only.
Build I20050308-0800 > existing filter You mean the "Name filer patterns", right? Would another filter, e.g. "inner types" help?
Daniel, I'd really prefer regexp-like filter with context (subclass) support, e.g. with patterns "**" and "/" used for specifying subclass/superclass names. It is just faster to deal with, does not require mouse to change and probably more natural too. BTW, what is this "RESOLVED REMIND" status?
Ahh, I see what you mean now. This requiest is not about "filter" that you can configure form quick outline popup menu, this is about dynamic filter that you can type in the entry field on the top of this dialog Actually similar filter would be handy for quick hierarchy popup too.
REMIND means we need more info i.e. we are not yet sure that it's not a bug (invalid/wontfix) and need more info.
