Re: [Gramps-users] Filter Question

[Gerald B. <ger...@gm...>]

"OR" relationships. Note that I said "any match  of".  I clicked the
radio button that says:

At least one rule must apply

You know what.  I bet I clicked "test" before "apply"  since now it IS
filtering.

One last thing though.  My new filter doesn't appear in the dropdown
filter list.  ONly the standard ones.  Is there something else I must
do to see my new filter in the list
