Suggestion

This is replacement for my previous feature request for a new status filter: https://github.com/qbittorrent/qBittorrent/issues/18421

I was wondering if instead of a lot of pre-made status filters, could we build our own and (at least optionally) remove the default ones.

eg:

  1. "New Status Filter..."
  2. Display a check list of all existing status words (Seeding, Completed, Paused, etc..)
  3. Check the words you want to include (always OR because no torrent has 2 status assigned at the same time)
    3b) Each status word would also need options to include "Stalled" or "Transferring" to recapture existing default status filters ;-)
  4. Name the Filter (perhaps pick an icon but doesn't matter)

Done.

I ask because, respectfully, the current status-filter system is cluttered and mostly un-useful. Does anyone even use half of these filters?

This would clean it up / streamline it - every user controls their own environment per their own preferences.

Thanks for your consideration.
