New filter option for visual proxies

[Carlo Didier]

I'd like to be able to use the filter panel so that it uses the properties of the visual proxies instead of the master files.

Example: Often, I crop images such that from a horizontal original I get a vertical cropped composition (or the reverse). In such a case, the original (master) has a horizontal orientation, but the proxy image has a vertical orientation. If then I want to filter for all vertical images, I want to see that vertical image of the proxy in my results.

As it is now, I don't see that image when I filter, although it should be in my selection. Also, sometimes it looks like the filter is not working correctly because the result window shows images with seemingly the wrong orientation for my filter because it shows the visual proxy.

Ideally, there should be an option to use certain properties from the visual proxies for filtering.

Very complicated.

Extra very complicated.
So many side-effets and conditions.

I thought so. I'll integrate it in my image-cruncher script to assign corresponding categories then.
