icon Modified and Expanded Sorting Filters in Locations Screen (+1)  
So, anyone who's seen me in the chat in the mornings lately knows I lost my player data. :( I've been able to at least recover the part of it that was pre-DROD4, as I never removed my TCB install, but in the process of bringing it in, a lot of secret rooms in holds I had mastered got marked unbeaten for some reason or another, usually (it seems) ones that I went back and dealt with after completing the hold.

When I'm selecting a hold to play, I usually use the Un-Mastered filter, so that I can see which ones I haven't totally finished off. Unfortunately, what I want right now is a Completed-but-not-Mastered filter, which isn't currently an option.

So, the feature request: Expanded and toggleable filters. Basically, what I think would be useful would be, instead of the tiny box that we have to scroll through, a set of checkboxes that could be selected between to set different combinations of filters. Completed/Unmastered, Uncompleted/AE, and so on.

Also potentially useful at the same time: If possible, tweak the backend a little to have CNet report to DROD when there's missing scores in a hold. Not necessarily so far as to report *which* ones, but at least a heads-up to the user that some of the scores didn't send properly or got lost in a DROD update.

Also would a filter for Post-mastered or Perfected be possible? Basically meaning all rooms have been explored and conquered. Especially now that many holds have multiple post-mastery levels, mastering a hold just seems to be the tip of the iceberg.

I've implemented this filter option for 5.0. The additional ideas are nice, but I'm not sure when we'll be able to get to them.
