There's another simpler solution. Put a filter at the bottom your list that matches everything and does nothing and check the "stop filtering when I match this filter checkbox" (you could use "status is unread" for the match). Put all your manually run filters below this one in your list, they will never run on any mail coming in but will be listed in your list of filters you can run manually.
