Some sane way to delete files with given filter in project #6974

Description

@emesare

What is the feature you'd like to have?
Be able to sanely delete files that match the search filter. This is a pretty major oversight IMO

Is your feature request related to a problem?
If you search for files in a project and want to delete all of them, you cannot if there are any folders, as the folder being selected will delete the entire folder, including files that do not match the search filter.

Are any alternative solutions acceptable?

  1. Add a list view to the project browser that does not show folders (i.e. items which do not match the filter)
  2. Make file deletion only delete files that are visible in the filtered model.
