   That Crash is now fixed.

   Other issues i did now noticed:
   I don’t get Reg Exp warning if i paste that link in filter box, i mean without using inline editor.

   And then there is also some issues with inline editor.
   1. open inline editor.
   2. use mouse’s context menu.
   and you see it’s closed.
   3. open inline editor again. (you also now see that context menu already open.)
   4. paste with it.
   and now inline editor is open and only way to close it is:
   5a: double click something in filter box, or maybe it needs 3 fast clicks.
   5b: Also if you use Ok -button, filter is not added/edited.

   Thanks, I added the context menu issue to the list of known issues. As to the missing RegExp warning on Copy&Paste – this is by design, you probably had the warning already for the item you are copying.

   This is better then I thought it would be. Nice work! I’m not one to add filters very often, but it seems very simple and easy to work with.

   Thanks for removing the help button.

   I like that you can add a filter and if you don’t like the look you can cancel and it doesn’t add the filter, as it should be.

   The to places you can add filters doesn’t really bother me that much as the one in the filter area could be over looked by some. If it’s an either or, I would say keep the button as opposed to the one in the filters area. But either way will work fine after everyone gets use to it.
