  There is new prepare line.

I'm still not at all convinced that the new line is either necessary or
useful - it just strikes me as something that complicates the user
interface.

OK. I would like to solve this problem:

I have packet list with some dump. I use 'Match selected' for some packet and filter expression will be generated. But packet list is filtered by this expression. So I can't combine it with another packets outside active filter. I'm using it often :-(

I think, there are two ways.
1) make something as prepare line (I did)
2) make check button 'Apply filter automaticly' and button 'Apply filter now'

In my opinion, first one is better.

Any ideas?

P.S. I can separate diffs for prepare line and new match selected for packet list.
