Good! I will look at it in the next few days.
I find it nice that a filter can now return more than just true or false.
However, personally, I have some problems with the name "StupidError". I
think that a name like "GenericError" (or "OtherError") would have been
clearer.
Perhaps you should add something like "ParsingError" for a parsing error
(QDomDocument::setContent returning false.)
Additionally, I am not sure if returning "StupidError" when a user cancels a
dialog is right. (I suppose that it means that the user will see another
dialog box after cancelling.)
