Compound and Group filters

Could the group filter be modified to accept "At least 0 to max in group"
(As it is now at least 1 is the minimum value)
And Is it possible to make the group filters available in compound
filters and vice/versa?
BTW i hope the filter database will be compatible with upcoming re-
leases so we don't have to begin from scratch again?

no problem, i'll update the filter

And Is it possible to make the group filters available in compound
filters and vice/versa?

just found out that there's a bug in the code which does not allow a group filter to be added to a compound filter even though it is available in the selection menu. but the filters are designed to allow group filters in compound filters and vice versa anyway. i'll fix it for the next release.

BTW i hope the filter database will be compatible with upcoming re-
leases so we don't have to begin from scratch again?

unfortunatelly i cannot guarrantee this. i implemented the compound/group filters using a binary filter parameters storage which was fast to code but it is not very suitable for future updates. so i'm considering some sort of xml file storage for the filters. sorry about that, but it's still a beta version only ;-)

i noticed that the problem with loading compound filters after upgrading to a new build happens on java version 1.5 only.

i'll try to investigate what's going on.

unfortunatelly switching to java 1.4 now will not fix the problem immediatlelly. but you should be able to use exisitng filters after the next build is released.

Hi!
Found a bug in the group filter -when setting at least to 0 and applying,it produces the message "There are some errors in the compound filter parts"
Also found another bug in the group filter when i choose the movement
filter from the group filter manager-some times the max movement settings are all set to -for all positions (Example -27 for all positions)
If i set the values to a positive value they are reset to minus when i hit preview or apply?

yes, i forgot to fix the 'edit filter' window, sorry about that :red:
but you can still setup a new group filter and set the "0 to X must pass" option later on when actually using the filter.
