Re: [Evolution] temp disable filters



is there a way to temporarily disable a filter without deleting it? 
can't see a way to do it through the GUI.  how and where are the filters
stored?  Are they human readable?  can we comment them out?

Art,

AFAIK there is no option to disable filters temporarily. I can think of
some ways to accomplish that, though.

1) If you only have Filters matching "if all criteria are met", you can
simply add a criteria that will never match. Disabled -- but ugly.

2) In any case you can add a special "stop processing" Filter:
If: "Expression" "#t"
Then: "Stop Processing"
Now move any Filter under this "stop processing" Filter and it is
disabled. Just a workaround.


Filters are stored in your ~/evolution/filters.xml file. Plain XML, so I
assume, you can <!-- comment --> them out. Have not tested it, though.
