I don't fully understand what this flag is doing. When this flag is activated and there is a watch filter and they both have the same regex pattern then the watch filter won't bookmark the thread with the regex from avoid_watch filter?
Yes it works like that, depending on the filter order, but It would be kinda meaningless to have the same pattern as both a watch and avoid_watch filter What I use it for: Let's say I have the watcher set up for thread /a/ but sometimes thread /b/ includes /a/ in their comment too In this case both /a/ and /b/ will be bookmarked With an avoid_watch /b/ filter placed before the watch /a/ ensures that /b/ is not bookmarked
Oh so in this case avoid_filter for thread /b/ will have a pattern specific for /b/ so that it can find it and skip bookmarking it. I see.
Can you add an explanation to the filters help (question mark icon on filter creation popup screen) because this may not be very obvious for people.
Can you also add an explanation to the filters help, please?

Yeah, it's done too. Is the phrasing clear or should I write something more detailed?
I think it's fine.
Added feature to avoid tread watching when filter pattern is matched Respects filter order
Can be used instead of a convoluted regex pattern when multiple threads include the filter text you want to watch for, but you are only interested in one/some of them
