Hello, Often I want to create a new filter Discover that I want to put this in a new folder

But because the create filter dialog locks out its parent window Then I have to lose what I entered, then find where I want to create a new folder create the folder there and now start over from scratch building my new filter

Also when you create a filter, you should be able to see test matches for the filter you just made There should be a check box to, "run this filter now after creation" The dialog should not lock out its parent window !

And please review the screenshot, this is where we should be able to create folders from

I like that idea, I've run up against that, too. Filters would be more convenient if I didn't often have to back out halfway through and return to finish. But the developers don't monitor this forum, this is users helping users. You can suggest features here:
