In the past, the QFileDialog filter selector - a combobox-ish widget that let's you select filters to apply when viewing files, like "*.cpp" - allowed the user to type in their own filter while manipulating the dialog. This capability has disappeared in 4.5.3. I'm not sure when it was removed, but I'd really, really like it back.

The current KDE file browser retains this capability.

Is there some way to turn this back on? If not, where should I go to submit a change request?

I'd also like to see file previewing returned to QFileDialog, an enormously useful feature that has also been removed from recent versions.
