How do you save modifications to a filter set?

There does not seem to be a mechanism for saving changes to a filter set. For example, if I change the settings for the default filter, I would intuitively assume that they would be auto saved once the filter dialog closes. That does not seem to be the case. Also, when attempting to save the filter by clicking on the ribbon icon, there is no drop down showing the list of previously save filters. If I attempt to give it the same name as my default filter, it creates a new filter set with the same name. Confusion and frustration ensue.

The help documentation does not address this at all.

From the documentation :

It is possible to rename a saved set by clicking on the "..." menu in the Saved filters menu, and then on Rename.

It is possible to delete a saved set by clicking on the "..." menu in the Saved filters menu, and then on Remove.

To edit a saved set of filters, click on Saved filters and then:

  1. Activate this set
  2. Delete this saved set
  3. Edit the active filters
  4. Save the defined set

I understand your frustration. Have a way to edit a bookmarked set of filters has been requested by a user and I've added your request to the matching ticket. However, work on the filters is not on the schedule, so don't expect much changes on this except if a volunteer developer takes care of it. Sorry about that.
