The GUI paradigm used by most other programs are is column with tri-state checkboxes (gray = doesn't matter, checked = must be, unchecked = must NOT be) controlled by a global drop-down menu (which already exists) with „Match Any/All”.
See a proposal for XnView MP here:
http://www.xnview.com/mantisbt/view.php?id=389
(this will make the program simpler because it will be not needed anymore to have two trees to manage).
In the Search dialog which is more advanced, we have already a tri-state check-box so you can search there for NOT IN. However, indeed, there perhaps there one would like to have some AND and OR operators, but I really don't know how „user-friendly” there operators are for the Average Joe User.
