Better access to the filtering?

Is it possible to make the filtering options (flags, ungraded clips, groups etc) more available at the surface of the ui? Its very cumbersome to go in to the menu and change the filtering as is. It should really be an area were I like to be able to customice.

There is a separate forum for Feature Requests.

viewforum.php?f=33

Best practice is to search first, to see if someone already asked. If not, post one idea per thread with a very brief description of the idea in the thread's title.
