Move from one filter to another filter #183

Open TdeV99 opened 1 year ago

TdeV99 commented 1 year ago

Some old filters need cleaning up, re-classifying.

It would be nice to move item from one filter to another. Best would be two filters open at the same time, then drag and drop to another filter. Adequate would be a Move-To with ability to choose another filter.

I could imagine something like Clipboard support (cut search conditions in one filter and then paste them in another later), but displaying 2 filters at the same time isn't possible with the current Thunderbird architecture... but even cutting multiple conditions will be difficult as it is not possible to select multiple rows in the filter editor.

That would add a lot of complexity to the filter editor (A built in function of Thunderbird), so I don't think it's feasible. What about "real" clipboard support? (The ability to copy one or multiple search terms to the clipboard / paste from clipboard).

We would still need some UI changes for selecting multiple search items, because the terms in this list are added dynamically by Thunerbird, and it is very complicated to modify for an Add-on
