Yes, I understand. However, in contrast, I've never used the context
menu method to create filters. I've always done so manually. I guess one
sticks to the method they got themselves accustomed to. Since the
ordering of filters is important, I always wish to see the filter set
that I'm working with when creating new filters, and I tend to organize
them so it's easy to find the filters.

If that's what you're accustomed to then, yes. I'm accustomed to
opening a filter rules configuration panel and then work from there. I
came to TB! with that style and just stuck with it.

It's really not that bad. I tend to just copy and paste the string. It
does involve more configuring, but I prefer the control and being able
to keep track of my filters. It also makes you more likely to create
your rules more efficiently in that you're more familiar with how to
setup OR strings and use other filtering options. The context menu
filter setup options are basic. But then again, the 'edit' button on the
'create filter' dialog will take you to the main configuration panel.
