NIPM: Allow filtering Packages by Feed

Status: Looking for Maintainer(s)

NI has released Package Manager 2023 Q3 and added the ability to disable specific feeds in Package Manager's Settings window as shown below, so you can uncheck all feeds and then enable which feeds you want to target displaying in NI Package Manager.

Although this is not the simple filtering that was requested in this idea, I do not expect NIPM to add a first class filter for specific feeds in the main GUI.

 

We should be able to filter the Packages displayed by Feed. This would allow users to focus on their internal feeds and find packages quicker. Particularly when basic LabVIEW\TestStand shows 90+ packages (300+ with hidden shown), the drowns out the internal packages. This would allow for more categorization than the Maintainer and limited Categories (improvement idea) afford us currently.

This should be moved to the new NIPM Idea Exchange

Since there are so many NI provided/managed feeds, all National Instrument Feeds should be grouped into a single checkbox instead of having the dozen of individual NI feeds in the filter box.
