Filters (12) by file type groupings

[TheGhost78]

It would be good to filter by file type groupings, for example: all audio file types, all image file types, all video file types. Similar things could be done for documents (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, text files, etc.). These are not exhaustive lists but give an idea:

Audio:

Contains
*.aac
*.ac3
*.dts
*.eac3
*.flac
*.m4a
*.mp3
*.wav
*.wma

Does Not Contain
!*.aac
!*.ac3
!*.dts
!*.eac3
!*.flac
!*.m4a
!*.mp3
!*.wav
!*.wma

Images:

Contains
*.bmp
*.dng
*.gif
*.heic
*.ico
*.jfif
*.jpe
*.jpeg
*.jpg
*.jps
*.ong
*.png
*.svg
*.tif
*.tiff
*.webp
*.wmf
*.ytif

Does Not Contain
!*.bmp
!*.dng
!*.gif
!*.heic
!*.ico
!*.jfif
!*.jpe
!*.jpeg
!*.jpg
!*.jps
!*.ong
!*.png
!*.svg
!*.tif
!*.tiff
!*.webp
!*.wmf
!*.ytif

Video:

Contains
*.avi
*.divx
*.flv
*.gifv
*.m4v
*.mkv
*.mov
*.mp4
*.mpeg
*.mpg

Does Not Contain
!*.avi
!*.divx
!*.flv
!*.gifv
!*.m4v
!*.mkv
!*.mov
!*.mp4
!*.mpeg
!*.mpg

That's a good idea. Right not you are able copy and paste the list you want to use in the new list editor for the masks.
And it is also remembered as a recently used entry.

Yes, I have these filters saved in .bru files, but it might be useful to have them as selectable groupings in drop-down lists.

In Filters (12), could you add something along the lines the below examples, where the only thing you need to enter in the filters mask field is <filter name>:

<image>
which filters for: *.bmp *.dng *.gif *.heic *.ico *.jfif *.jpe *.jpeg *.jpg *.jps *.ong *.png *.svg *.tif *.tiff *.webp *.wmf *.ytif

<!image>
which filters for: !*.bmp !*.dng !*.gif !*.heic !*.ico !*.jfif !*.jpe !*.jpeg !*.jpg !*.jps !*.ong !*.png !*.svg !*.tif !*.tiff !*.webp !*.wmf !*.ytif

and so on for other file types.

You could possibly allow for custom filters to be created and saved, e.g.

<Film & TV>
*.mkv *.mp4 *.srt *.sup *.txt *.jpg

This is a very useful idea, I have logged this request, thanks!

PS right now you can use the "recent entries" for this?
