Apply Filtering to Explorer feature must only optional hide the objects

According the "new" feature "Apply Filtering to Explorer" (introduced in DOORS-version 9.7.2.0), nearby all users are complaining about this "new" feature.

So > 300 users heavily asking for getting the old style back and make the new style optional!

This is due to a loss of overview as the hidden objects are not shown anymore and the treeview itself looks somehow strange. So the better idea for an implementation is, to provide the option to a) display filtered objects in grey (as existing before) and b) to display filtered object in the new style.
