Lack of interest Select nodetree with nodetype limit

[ajnos]

It would be great if the getNodeDataForListDisplay function would have an extraparameter to limit the nodetypes, so we could use this function also for add-ons, without needing to run this, and then to filter for only the needed nodetypes.

    /**
     * Gets all the node data required for a node list display
     * (eg, a forum list) from a given point. Returns 3 pieces of data:
     *     * nodesGrouped - nodes, grouped by parent, with all data integrated
     *  * nodeHandlers - list of node handlers by node type
     *  * nodePermissions - the node permissions passed on
     *
     * @param array|false $parentNode Root node of the tree to display from; false for the entire tree
     * @param integer $displayDepth Number of levels of nodes to display below the root, 0 for all
     * @param array|null $nodePermissions List of node permissions, [node id] => permissions; if null, get's current visitor's permissions
     *
     * @return array Empty, or with keys: nodesGrouped, parentNodeId, nodeHandlers, nodePermissions
     */
    public function getNodeDataForListDisplay($parentNode, $displayDepth, array $nodePermissions = null)

We've found also a other scenario why it's important to have this.

If the moderator wants to move an thread, he gets a form with a selectbox with ALL NODES!
If the board have 100 nodes, the form will show 100 nodes and (maybe) only 20 would be forum nodes, which would be usable

    <dd>
        <select name="node_id" id="ctrl_node_id" class="textCtrl selectForum">
        <xen:foreach loop="$nodeOptions" value="$node">
            <option value="{$node.node_id}" {xen:selected '{$node.node_id} == {$firstThread.node_id}'} {xen:if "{$node.node_type_id} != 'Forum'", 'disabled="disabled"'}>{xen:string repeat, '&nbsp; ', $node.depth}{$node.title}</option>
        </xen:foreach>
        </select>
    </dd>

It would be better, if only forumnodes would be selected and shown.

AS you see on the screenshot, only 2 nodes are forums, all other are article & gallery nodes, where the thread can't be moved, but they are there.
