I can repeat this issue in v7.0.2, as in the filter appears to have no effect what so ever.
It looks like the intended use of the filter is to block particular document types. It would be great to also have a filter to enable or let through certain document types. I think this was was implement in v6's MNTP using the 'XPath filter type' property:
i am having some issues using MNTP with members... does not appear to be saving them with the node? i select the members, click teh select(2) button... the panel slides back... but add button is still there.
I don't think this filter is working the way it used to. Currently, I have a 7.0.3 site set up with some content being used in a MNTP. This content is created with two document types: Tag and TagFolder. As you can imagine, I create TagFolder content nodes that have child nodes of type Tag.
If I set the "Filter out items with type" to "TagFolder" my expectation is that in the MNTP I can browser through the tree but can only select the Tag nodes and not the TagFolder nodes.
But that's not the case. In the MNTP I can select a TagFolder node but I am blocked some selecting any child nodes of a TagFolder node.
This is not how I remember this functionality working prior to v7.
I'm having good results in a multilingual Umbraco 7.0.3 site. E.g. I'm using
$site/descendant::*[@nodeTypeAlias = 'NewsContainer'] to limit the visible nodes to the folder with the news items, and setting "Filter out items with type" to "News" to ensure that the selectable items are only of the "News" DocumentType.
In previous versions of Multi-Node Tree Picker I was able to filter out nodes of the same docType, looking at property values on the node. ex. a docType with a True/False property could be filtered out with //Product [soldOut="1"] or something like that. Is this still possible? I'm on version 7.2.0

v7 MNTP filters not working?
Is anyone else having luck with the MNTP filters? i.e. filter out doctype X
I'm putting in a Document Type alias and it still shows.
Clearing the caches, etc to no avail.
Had the same problem, to me it seemed like, all doctypes was inactive except for the root doc, regardless of the content of the filter string :(
hmm, seems like a bug, could you report on the tracker ?

Happy to help test this if you contact me.
Thanks for all the hard work.

Much appreciated Per!
Good skills, many thanks.
i am having some issues using MNTP with members... does not appear to be saving them with the node? i select the members, click teh select(2) button... the panel slides back... but add button is still there.
thoughts?
update: it appears that i can set the options to minimum of 1 and max of 1 and it allows me to pick exactly one... other combos... fail
