Indeed there are! Perhaps, just perhaps, with the PKovar/KHaley team that looks like it might be forming to take over from CKerr, who has stated he's looking for a pan project lead replacement after being inactive for some time, pan development might once again move forward, after being pretty well stalled for some years now. Time will tell if they (or anyone else who has the skills and could contribute) will bring any major new features to pan, as this would certainly be, or just tweak around the edges and maintain compatibility with current dependency and build chain versions, tho even having someone reliably doing the latter is welcomed, but for the first time in a number of years, it /does/ look like there's some hope, once again, and this sorely missed feature, along with a few others, may yet appear in a pan version coming your way (even if it might be awhile). But I didn't want to try to explain all that too, possibly overwhelming a newbie with details not at all particularly relevant to the filters he was asking about, in an already long post, and a reference to the situation without explaining it in some detail would have certainly only lead to further confusion and either false promises or unwarranted pessimism if I didn't sufficiently well explain the current situation, how it's still uncertain, yet far better already than it was even a month ago, as 2010 turned into 2011. -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
