Feature suggestion: "Apply on load" checkbox for template filters

[ernstki]

Hi @rafaelfassi, thanks for sharing this great tool.

I was a bit confused by the "Filter" tab for a template at first, until I realized that these are predefined filters, and that the pattern field for filters in the main UI window has a drop-down list.

I think what I expected would happen is that the filters would apply as soon as I selected that template to a loaded file, but in retrospect, maybe that doesn't make much sense.

What would make sense, though, is either:

1. for each filter to have a checkbox that says "Apply on load," which would add that filter to the default list when the template is loaded
   —or—
2. for the filter settings of the main window to be updated to include all the configured filters for this template (perhaps disabled by default), when the template is loaded

I liked the idea of the "Apply on load" checkbox.
Will try to add that feature in the next release.

@rafaelfassi I cloned the repo to see if I could do a PR for you, but I got stuck on half dozen other things just getting to the point where I could set a breakpoint in the code, and eventually had to move on to other projects.

I'm sure you remember how difficult it can be to set up a development environment for a language you're not very familiar with… If you've got suggestions, though, I'm willing to give it another try!

Another feature I'd like to see is for QLogExplorer to remember which template per-file, or based on a filename pattern, and maybe that's an easier beginner PR?
