thanks, lame me didn't notice that field. is there a hope, that
on-the-fly filtering feature (already available in text-mode version)
will be available in GUI as well for 9.0.3, or it involves some serious
work?

also, when i create a filter there is a relateion "is present", it would
also useful to have "isn't present", thus i would able to differentiate
between GTP requests and responces for example (now i can create a
filter for responces "is present" gtpv0.cause, but cannot create one for
requests)?

absolutely not serious, but 'new' button adds a filter in colorize, even
when i press 'cancel'. is it suppose to do so?

thank you!
