The feature of bom F/B filtering is nice but not that visible. I think I saw questions about that filtering of bom list in the forum - what is already supported. I can imagine that some pcb designers hand out only the ibom to assembly partner and they then use the ibom export to generate the final bom for importing to their process. If the bom is filtered by the filter field this is much more obvious than filtered/incomplete list by the F/FB/B buttons.

I have no final suggestion - this is more to discuss it and get some opinions.

Would a solution be a syntax for the filter field that it is more obvious that a filter is active? Example (but this has the consequence to extend a parser for this syntax)

Or there would be enough space to add a button-like UI feedback that a filter is on like this (not nice just a mock):

Clicking the button would disable the filter and it disappears.

Or splitting visual and list filtering and present the same F/FB/B buttons in the filter line?

Maybe just a warning text in the export menu, cautioning that the table is currently filtered would be enough.

The copy button is another way to export the list - a simple warning dialog for this?
