[Gramps-devel] Filters and regular expressions

[doug <do...@o2...>]

I think there was some discussion a while ago about making 
all filters capable of using regular expressions - what are 
the current state and intentions?

The question raised itself recently when I wanted to filter 
for things like Birth Events lacking a Date, or Birth Events 
lacking a Place, by putting "^$" in the appropriate field. 
The filter fails to select any Events.
The filter editor has no "Use regular expression" option and 
the filter sidebar "Use regular expression" has no effect.
