This is a known missing feature that I have been working towards.
The majority of the support is in place, the main remaining work is
in implementing a dialog for editing conditions.  I was hoping to
reuse some code from the sort dialog to handle it.

Yes easily.  Although it will get filtered down to 3 when exporting

I'd love to get it in for 1.2, but getting graphs reenabled is a
higher priority.  If someone was interested in helped with the

squeeze it in.
