Filter Editor option filter, question, getting, option

Hi jdobbs,

once again nice work. I love this tool.

One question:
Could you please insert a little flag to the Filter Editor option in the menu when there is an entry in the field?

It happened twice to me that I forgot to delete an quot;oldquot; filter entry which I didn't need for the next dvd and had to redo it all again.

I know it's my fault but that would be great. We're all getting older, you know.

Good idea.  I've done that myself.

Ok -- in v0.94 I've added a checkmark on the menu if there are filters in use.  Also the status/log will show quot;AVS Filters are in enabled.quot; when there is at least one line used through the filter editor.

Thanks jdobbs !

An useful addition !

Would it be too much to ask for a slight extension to this concept - that the 'filters in use' flag only appears if there are lines in the filter editor that do not begin with #

This is because I keep a few variations in the filter editor ready to go, but disengaged by prefixing them with #

An alternative approach would be to provide a check box in the filter editor to operate as an overall enable/disable control.

It's all down to the fact that the contents of the filter editor cannot be easily saved, and many of the expressions required are too complicated to retype each time they are used. Thanks.
