 The basic "show hidden files" option is great, but I often have cases
 where I'd like it to do more. For example:

 * I use  some servers that are also accessed via AFP (e.g. Netatalk),
 which means they are full of ":2eDS_Store" files etc., always (annoyingly)
 visible because they aren't Unix dotfiles

 * I do Python web development, which means I have directories full of
 temporary *.pyc and *.pyo files that I almost never need to see or touch

 * In certain cases I'd like to see some dotfiles (.htaccess) and not
 others (.DAV)

 Proposal: simple user-configurable file filtering.

 TextMate offers this feature in its Project drawer. A single regex defines
 what files are included or omitted. This is a little hairy for some, but
 hey, you don't have to use the feature. I'm trying to suggest something
 that wouldn't be too much hassle to implement. A special GUI just for
 manipulating these rules would probably be overkill.

 This filter preference could be kept as a global setting (in Preferences)
 and possibly as a bookmark-specific setting too.

 A nice companion feature would be an indicator/toggle in the navigation
 bar or toolbar that indicates whether file filtering is on. This would be
 handy even with the current dotfile-only hiding -- sometimes you want to
 just quickly see (or hide) what's there.
