Advanced Search Processes Filtering

[psultan]

I would like to hide processes from the main Processes tab.

The main issue is that chrome.exe and firefox.exe create new processes for nearly every tab/extension. Combined they account for close to 50% of the total number of processes in the list. However, they are rarely the processes I want to monitor. When I am not interested in chrome/firefox they make it hard to monitor other processes on the list. In general, it would be nice to be able to filter out some_process.exe from the Processes tab.

One possible solution would be to enable regex search in the top-right Search Processes filter box. The downside to this is that although I believe it can work, negative regex can get tricky.

A more robust solution would be to mimic sysinternal's Process Monitor Filters where you can create a list of filters per column and specify if a filter is a include or exclude. The downside to this is that it would require a significant code change.
