Can users customize their own filter (or filters)?

Hello Developers/Maintainers,
I'm a newer to Duplicate Cleaner and just found this wonderful tool yesterday. It is a really useful software and I'm so excited to find it!
However, I found it seems one important function is missing when I was shown the detected results (the "Duplicate files" tab): choose partial files by their size or size range. Though I can indirectly do this by resorting the files by clicking on the "Size" column, it still takes some time. Moreover, when I want to choose the files that need to meet MULTIPLE conditions, for example, the files whose type IS or IS NOT ".xyz, and/or .abc, and/or, .efg", size is between "100 MB - 500 MB", position IS or IS NOT in "C, and/or D, and/or E", (even more, like the age of files, the modification time of files, the owner of files, etc.), I found it is still difficult to do so. "Mark" is a good function and only can do partial functions of the above mentioned ones.
So I was wondering if there is such a filter that allows users to set up some rules (just like the Gmail's filter) and only shows the chosen files (I call it "Files of Interest (FOI)"? If there is not now, I believe adding it to the future versions will definitely make this tool stronger!
The above filter is my expectation. For my current use, are there any ways to filter the files whose sizes are in some range? Actually, I just want to find the .mp4 files that have some specified size range from the "Duplicate files" list to show.
Thank you!
