Is it possible to make a label filter, that highlights all folders, that contain a certain file type, for instance PDFs. I've tried several approaches, like "type=folder, subclause / name *.pdf", or
"type=folder, contains *.pdf", or "type=folder, subclause *.pdf" etc., but couldn't find the right combination. And if it's possible, can the filter be activated on demand, not statically?
The idea is, to build several types of filters to highlight various contents like PDF, or dirs containing certain names, etc.
I once did this for somebody around here, to select folders which contain *.iso files (edit the upper section to match other file types).
It's a button in it's current state, but maybe it is still of help to you.

Technically, there also is this command, it includes all necessary parts to put something together that would build a column like Leo suggested.
Combined with the general approach of the following column set, which enables easy adding, configuring and removing of columns, this would result in some nice addin.
