I understand your complains about my implementation, but I currently don't see a better way of implementing this with the described features :-( If I find some time, I will look at the code again, to see if I can improve it even more ;-) I am also thinking of separating the file handling of the code into separate recent.c / recent.h files. > > === > Would you have time and interest in looking at improving the display filter > dialog Interest: yes Time: I currently really don't know > you get by pressing the "Filter:" button?

As a first (and maybe more simple) step in the right direction, the filter dialog could be extended only a little bit, using the same GUI mechanisms (not implementation) as the colorization dialog, which is better for the user to work with
