Howdy,

That is what I meant; your interpretation is correct.

I think the old version had trouble if you had more than one filter checked.
I haven't checked if there is still a problem with this one.

So far 2.0b is working quite well for me.

Hope you solve the French dictionary problem.

Good Luck,
