This is indeed a planned (2.0) feature, but I might add the 'auto decreasing set inventory counts' to 1.7.
You can 'fake' the global filter you want if you are willing to do some creative filesystem management
- Make a copy of your ldraw library, and use the new copy in LDCad instead of the original.
- In de copy delete all .dat files in the parts folder which are not part of your personal inventory.
You could write a script doing this based on the items of a pbg file if you need it often with different scripts.
And if you are on Linux (e.g. ext3/4) you can use hard links to minimize duplicate files disk wise).
