That explains a few things... somehow I thought Enabling was just for auto-applying on downloading. That's how Schedules work: Enabling means "runs automatically", but you can still run a non-enabled Schedule manually and it runs. I guess I've been rather foolishly expecting Schedules and Rules would have consistent behaviour, and that "All Rules" means "All Rules". This way is actually better, giving what most people would want. I guess "Apply All Rules" should actually read "Apply All Enabled" since it's already a submenu of "Apply Rules" and everyone would know what it means. A feature suggestion to write up?
