Filter Editor Problems
« on: November 22, 2015, 17:54:57 »
Hi,

Thanks for adding the Advanced Filter feature [v5.8 b2040], I appreciate its still under development.

I'm having a couple of problems using the Filter Editor.

Filter vs Rule
1. Am I right in assuming that one Filter can have many Rules?

Setting up a filter
2. If I set up a filter and want to exclude a file using the "Name part" and "Is" options it keeps toggling back to "Fullname" and "Wildcard" as soon as I save the Rule. Is this a bug?

3. Can you only have one Rule per Filter? i.e. can I not mix different rules, "Name part", "Full name" within the same Filter?

Editing a filter
4. What does the box at the bottom of the Filter Editor labeled "Rule Name" supposed to do. There is a button with "*." which doesn't seem to do anything. Is the plan to use this to edit rules so you can delete a rule within a Filter? There doesn't appear to be a way to edit an existing Filter.
