Editing filters

Mon Sep 06, 2010 3:45 am

When I try to edit a filter after I have created and saved it, I get an error message, "A filter with that name already exists."

Is this a known issue, or is there something I am doing wrong? I'd hate to have to recreate a filter just because I wanted to tweak it.

Are you on the latest version of MW? Check the latest version topic at the top of this forum to be sure. As I post it is "New MailWasher Pro 1.0.19"

Easy workaround is to just add or remove a period at the end of the filter name with each edit but I thought this was fixed in .19.

I just checked for updates and got a message that I am up-to-date.

Do I have to download the .19 version manually?

There are glitches in the updater, it is better in later versions but I still check that topic to make sure mine hasn't missed anything, too the check is weekly so you could be missing out on shiny new goodness for almost a week while waiting on the updater even if it is working perfectly for you. :-)

The manual update is easy enough, the new version topic tells you anything you need to know about the new release.
