GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 305041
You should be able to edit more than one Filter at a time
Last modified: 2006-04-04 16:33:19 UTC
Currently when you edit a filter the Filters dialog clouds over so that you can't add, edit or remove other filters. There doesn't seem to be any obvious reason why you shouldn't be able to add/edit/remove two or more different filters at the same time. The following would need to be considered as part of changes to this functionality: If you edit a filter, it you should not be able to be opened the filter rules dialog a second time. Perhaps is could be greyed from the list, or if this isn't possible, then the filter window in question might come to the focus (perhaps with a warning that you're already editing that filter rule). If it can be greyed out then this would address any issues with deleting a filter currently being edited. If it can't, then a dialog should warn the user that their currently editing this filter rule and then confirm whether to continue to edit, cancel or delete filter rule (which should close the related dialog window). Adding should not be a problem, except with regard to making sure that two filters don't get the same name.
