Version 4.7.1 | QGIS Plugin | Production-Ready 🎉
🚀 Explore, filter & export vector data with lightning-fast performance on ANY data source.
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| 🔍 Smart Search | Intuitive entity search across all layer types |
| 📐 Geometric Filtering | Spatial predicates with buffer support |
| ⭐ Filter Favorites | Save and reuse filter configurations |
| 🤝 Favorites Sharing | Publish favorites to git repos with QGIS authcfg credentials |
| 🌐 REST API | Drive FilterMate from external tools (X-API-Key auth) |
| 📝 Undo/Redo | Complete filter history |
| 🌍 34 Languages | Full internationalization |
| 🎨 Dark Mode | Automatic theme detection |
| 📦 GPKG Project Export | Embedded QGIS project with group hierarchy, styles & CRS |
| 🚀 Multi-Backend | PostgreSQL, Spatialite, OGR |
- Export hardened: 12 fixes across SHP/CSV/GPKG/SpatiaLite/ZIP — including a critical ZIP path-traversal leak, V3 API migration, streaming CRS plumbing, batch collision detection.
- SpatiaLite cascade restored: drop
GeomFromGPBwrap (useST_*prefix), preserveST_*/EXISTS(...)/NOT(...)predicates in the sanitizer (3 silent no-op regressions fixed), restore the cache f-string interpolation that had been broken for 100+ days. - REST API hardening: refuse insecure default
api_key, hash-at-rest, 503 when favorites unavailable, no input echo on errors, 1 MiB body cap, Qt main-thread marshalling for accessor mutations. - Security: PortableGit installer requires SHA-256 digest + http(s)-only URLs, defense-in-depth PostgreSQL SQL guards, sanitizer collapses whitespace runs before marker scan.
- Favorites deep audit follow-through:
FavoritesSpatialHandlerextraction,FavoritesErrorexception family,FavoritesExtensionBridge+FavoritesMenuBuilder+FavoriteImportHandler+LayerSignature, signal leak fixes, ~24 commits closing 37 findings. - Auto-zoom: zoom on filtered-layers union after filter/favorite apply, with a subset-change token to block stale post-task zoom.
- Tests: 1493 ✅ (+200 since v4.7.0).
- Favorites Sharing: git-backed publish to remote repos, repo manager dialog, 1-click Quick publish, optional Resource Sharing extension, JSON Schema v3, per-user scope.
- REST API:
GET /layers,POST /filters/apply,/filters/status,/undo,/redo,/favorites— protected byX-API-Keymiddleware. - Performance: streaming feature IDs, cached parsed expressions, single buffer-distance fetch.
- Hardening: path-traversal + argv-injection guards, git stderr scrubbing, sanitizer at
setSubsetStringchokepoint, singleHistoryService,QgsDataSourceUri-based PostgreSQL table parsing. - UX/UI: HIDPI profile + QSS cascade cleanup, harmonized groupbox display modes, favorites scope filter combo + list badges, full 34-locale coverage for new features.
