Description
Small addition to the filters section of views_user.inc. May be slow for site with many users, but no more so than author username filter. Patch attached.

Until the patch makes it into Views, this can be accomplished with hook_views_tables_alter(). Something along the lines of this:
<?phpfunction mymodule_views_tables_alter(&$table_data) {
$table_data['users']['filters']['status'] = array(
'name' => t('Node: Author is Active'),
'operator' => 'views_handler_operator_eqneq',
'list' => array(0 => t('blocked'), 1 => t('active')),
'help' => t('This allows you to filter by whether or not the node author is active.')
);
}
?>
Don't forget the clear the cache_views table in order for the new filter to appear in the list.

thanks for your suggestion, but i did originally implement my code in a custom module, and thought that it would be useful enough to be committed.

I believe we do not use the term 'active' in Drupal.

sun - what do you mean? The two statuses available for users are active and blocked (per admin/user/user). The code above is similar to the Active filter created by Usernode.

Yea, Views 2 uses the same terminology. Patch looks reasonable to me.
