Browser - filelist - toolbar - rework filters

[user0]

XnViewMP 1.9.0
Windows11 (24H2), display resolution 3840x2160, dpi scale 150%

Browser - filelist - filter by - toolbar
ui controls for metadata filters are not consistent, which is inconvenient:
- exposed filters: rating
- hidden filters (inside funnel dropdown): tags, color label
- filetype and metadata filters are mixed

Suggestion

A

• add 'exposed' version of metadata filters for
  - tags
  - color labels

• (optional) improve Color labels filter
  • add ability to select multiple Color labels (like in Lightroom)
  • add Uncolored icon
    eg dashed circle
    icon_color_laber_empty.zip

B

• add compact version of metadata filters for
  - tags
  - rating
  - color labels

Example

• ACDSee, Lightroom, Darktable, FastStone, RawTherapee
  Toolbars functionality:
  • Lightroom, Darktable
    - top - filter
    - bottom - assign metadata
