Imo this alone does not make it neccessary to create a whole new view. Inst=
ead=20
you should make it possible to deactive those two buttons (which I never=20
understood either, when do they have an effect? and which?).

=46urthermore there should be something like addAction(KAction*) to add cus=
tom=20
actions into the view's toolbar, if this does not exist yet. This you could=
=20
use to add the custom filter actions.
