What I really need is an 'in-place' copy, i.e. copy the filter _without_ having it end up at the bottom of the list. The list for this particular account has hundreds of filters that are sorted alphabetically which differ only slightly (the filters sort virus-alerts into per-virustype folders) and having to drag them back into place is extremely unwanted. The previous behaviour of being able to ctrl-drag a filter to copy it to the location it was dropped was much easier. Furthermore, while working on this I noticed something else: because I don't normally drag something into place if the destination isn't visible, I used Ctrl+Up to move the filter into place. If you keep these keys depressed in a sufficiently long list of filters, I noticed that TB! spends so much time re-painting the criteria-frame, that before it gets a chance to update the tree of filters, another move is noticed. This leads to the situation that the tree of filters looks like an empty control with TB! frantically trying to keep the filter criteria displayed, causing one to no longer be able to know where you are in the list, and thus when to release the Up-key. It would be more logical if while the Ctrl+Up is kept depressed, TB! would update only the tree of filters and leave the criteria frame alone. Moreover, since I'm only _moving_ the filter and not changing anything in it, there is no point in repainting that frame anyway. -- Greetings, Maurice Using The Bat! v3.0.0.11 on Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 2 ________________________________________________________ Current beta is 3.00.11 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html IMPORTANT: To register as a Beta tester, use this link first - http://www.ritlabs.com/en/partners/testers/
