I would vote for constructing the strings upon request. I see no use in
keeping all filter strings for all columns of all rows in the tracefile,
just to keep them handy for the time when "copy as filter" is used (if
it is used at all in the packet-list).

But being able to use it on the packet-list too, is a handy feature...
