Objects filtering enhancements

[This topic is migrated from our old forums. The original author name has been removed]

I would like to filter out table names which end with specific string but looks like it is impossible with current filtering operators. Following current convention new operator would have to be added "not ends with" probably together with complementary "not begins with". I wonder if it wouldn't be better to add flag to filtering rule that would negate its outcome. On a related note, in previous versions of DbVisualizer docs (9.1 I think) I found that regular expressions could be used in filtering expressions. Is that still possible and if yes how to do it exactly as I couldn't get it to work in any way?

Re: Objects filtering enhancements
Thanks Roger, that is a great news. One thing though regarding filtering documentation that I referred to in my previous post. It was mentioned that begin of line (^)/end of line ($) characters cannot be used in a pattern. The latter is crucial in my case. Can you make sure it is possible to match with $ too?
