[QGIS-Developer] Disable/commenting provider filter?

[Jorge Gustavo Rocha]

Hi,

Another workaround is layer duplication. You can have an instance
without filters and one with filters. Then switch between them.

But a filter history for the layer (like the one in the old DB manager
where you can save queries), could be useful.

Regards,

Jorge
