If I understand you, the first part of this is already available. Does the rename button in the Filter dialog not do what you want? The problem with the second part is that filters are run in order. So the grouping would have to reflect the order. Oh. Sorry about the renaming, I didn't see the rename button. I think it is more intuitive to assign names to the filters as they are created and modified, then to have a rename button on the bottom of the list. The buttons on the bottom seem crowded together, and so many users might not pay attention to them. If the name field is left blank, the dialog would default to the current behavior. If the developers are afraid that may make the interface seem to complex, then maybe the advanced options should be hidden behind a button (as they are in kcontrol). -- As for the grouping: Hmm... that would be strange. I was thinking that the groups of filters would be run in order, just as they are now. Only 2 differences would occur: 1) You could collapse parts of the list to make it easier to see. 2) You can move groups of filters if you wish to change the order. (So, I could have my filters run KDE lists first, then go through my friends. But then, say, some of my friends join the project, I could simply move the first group down one.) Basically, the groups would be equivalent to syntactic sugar. I am not sure how other people have their lists organized, but mine tends to have many of the same people organized in chunks. For instance, I have a set of filters for my family, then sets for mailing lists, then ones to sort the KDE bugs/etc that I report, and on and on down the list. So, that seemed like reasonable behavior to me. If it shouldn't be there in your opinion, then It is not a big deal. This may be another area where investigation of how people use and set up their filter lists would be convenient. *** Bug 19381 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** This bug has been confirmed by popular vote. *** Thank you for your feature request.
