Add item pattern filter

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Use the file browser to open a directory with over two hundreds files.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect to have some means to narrow down the items (files and subdirectories) 
I'm interested in.
My use-case at-hand is the BMC CMDB Logs directory.  It has hundreds of log 
files covering various CMDB subsystems, and I am only ever interested in one 
subsystem at a time.
Another use case is BMC ADDM.  There are many base log files present, and for 
most of them there are several for each "engine" multiplied by about 10 due to 
log file rotation and aging.
Instead I have no means to narrow down what is displayed.

Please use labels and text to provide additional information.
Add a simple text file labeled something like "Narrowing filter:".
The program would simply do a .getName().contains() test on the items, perhaps 
using a java.io.FilenameFilter or java.io.FileFilter.

I think that a general .contains filter like this is more generally useful and 
applicable than a more traditional filetype selector.  The filetype selector 
would not help for my use cases, where tons of files I want to exclude have the 
same suffix that I need.  If a filetype/filename-suffix selector is added, it 
must accept custom suffixes (like with a JComboBox or similar).
