Easier changes to pre-selected filters

[guitarizt]

For example, I want quickly be able to change between 6-10 players, 5-6 players, and 2-4 players to be able to quickly see if anything stands out. Right now I have to totally take out the filter and re-add it from scratch which is really annoying. I think it would be fastest for me if I could have the ability to add redundant filters and only activate the ones I need. So I could add a filter for 6-10 players, 5-6 players, and 2-4 players, but I would be able to have 2 of the 3 ignored. Then I could look at everything, and then I could go back and deactivate a filter and active another one. I'm not sure if this would be feasible for other people, but there's a ton of stuff I look at where this would be super helpful to me.

I agree, and we have this request in our system, but it isn't a simple change and I don't know when it will be done. If you open a Support Ticket with a link to this thread we'll link you into our system so that you get a notification when the change is made.

In case you're counting, +1

re-add it from scratch which is really annoying

While at it, the "scratch" is the key. If I could, in the filter list, double click a filter to edit it, life would be easier too. Say I have "5-6 players", I click that, I'm taken directly to the place where I created this filter so I can just change the numbers, come back and I'm looking at "4-5 players".

Oh yes, who puts "OK" (that's what "Save & Apply Filters" essentially is... ) in the top right of a dialog?


And sorry for the highjack, but what's with the "Save", anyway, it doesn't save anything?
I select Edit Quick Filter, select to Load a filter (which I would think a doubleclick should do), a new MODAL dialog is opened.... The dialog behind, showing my current filter is blanked and NOW I get asked whether I want to replace or append the loaded filter. Can I Cancel? No, my existing filter (which I no longer see) is toasted now.
Ok so to recap, I did Edit Quick Filters, loaded a previously make Quick Filter and managed to Append it so it's to my liking, I click Save & Apply... my new filter should be safe now, right? Well, no. The "Save" does everything but.

Double clicking to edit is on our feature request list.

Regarding that modal dialog if you click Append then that will append whatever you have highlighted on to what you had before. You could then remove those bits and get right back to where you were if you so desire.

To save your quick filter you seen to use the Save as Quick Filter button on the bottom left - you can change existing Quick Filters by using that button as well using the Overwrite Existing option.

Yeah, I've cracked the code (figuratively speaking) to be able to do what I need to... just saying that the current workflow and visuals isn't quite the way I've seen things usually done in Windows. I mean "Edit", "Save", "OK", "Apply" tend to have a standardized meaning and action outside of PT... as do the Alt and Tab & Arrow keys in dialogs.
