Hi List!

While working on a complete different topic, I noticed the new "View/Display Filter Macros" menu item.

The functionality itself might be useful, however, the documentation is not existing.

IN IT'S CURRENT FORM THERE'S NO INFORMATION HOW TO USE THIS FEATURE SO IT'S CONFUSING (OR AT LEAST USELESS) FOR EVERY NORMAL USER!!!


Even as an experienced user (as I would call myself :-), I just don't know what to do with it.

So what is this all about?!?

If this is experimental, it should be removed from the menu before the 0.99.5 release ...

Regards, ULFL


P.S: BTW: "Of course", it lacks basic GUI features like a "Close" button, as some window managers don't provide the "X" to close a dialog ... P.P.S: As I've spend *a lot of time* to keep the User's Guide up to date, this is a bit discouraging - developers keep adding new features without caring about the user documentation :-(
