Saving filters for future use.

[TonyIT]

It would be very useful if there was a fast way to save and reopen the filters set during the using of your program.

My "2 cents":
- A combo box in the top right of the "Statistics Report" (and the other reports) window where you can choose the filter to apply;
- [Use only], [Save] and [Delete] buttons to manage the filter currently set in "Edit Filter" window;
- A warning to avoid the overwriting of the filters;
- In "Statistics Report" window, the name of the filter has to be visible;
- The choice of the filter in the combo box will set and apply the filter parameters, and if the user open the "Edit Filter" window, the parameters set are those currently in use;
- The filter should be able to have a free long name like "EDF invoices from 2012 to 2016";
- The combo box may also appear in the Filter window, in order to switch easily between the saved filters;
- Filters should be stored in external files (one file, one filter) in order to make the sharing easier between projects and/or users. It would be nice if you could also modify it with a simple text editor;
- In the "Preferences" pane, a way to set the path where you have to save the files of the filters;
- To populate the combo box, your program has only to read the filename of the files found in their folder (Preferences pane...) and link to it. For example, it might find: "EDF invoices from 2012 to 2016.xhb_filter";
- The opening of the "Statistics Report" (and the other Report, obviously) force to reread the filter's path.

Wow... how much stuff!
(Please, do not hate me! :)

Grazie davvero.
