So I can make this work for me by defining and enabling the filter "foo", but I have to restart Meld after creating the new file filter. The fact that it needs to be restarted is definitely a bug. However, if it doesn't work for you even after restarting, then there may well be a second bug hanging around. Feel free to file these in bugzilla. cheers, Kai _______________________________________________ meld-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/meld-list
