--- Comment #14 from b. <newbie-02 at gmx.de> ---
imho AF and SF and AdF (advanced Filter) are not intended to be the same, and
not designed for 'cooperation', they have different capabilities (sort,
comparision, duplicates, copy output, etc.), and produce even different
representation in the file and different definition in the filterdescriptor for
the same intention / similar input, 

AF - quick and dirty 'have a filtered look', 
SF - more complex filtering which requires thinking, and defining something, 
AdF - complex filter structures that are visible in the sheet and can be
applied repeatedly - even with different specifications from different
definition areas, 

it all comes together in one somehow 'special' construct 'filterdescriptor' in
which similar functionalities (how to filter the fields) are mapped multiple
times (Filterfields(), Filterfields2() and Filterfields3()), and SF for example
uses multiple 'Filterfields3()' fields and connects them by logical or, while
AF uses only one Filterfield3() and assigns multiple 'values' to it (possible
only with Filterfields3()), 

that a programmer can (or even wants to, considering how many other urgent
problems have to be solved) implement harmony and cooperation there seems
unlikely to me ... 

current behaviour is that every tool constructs it's own ruleset, starting with
first criteria from preset filters? and overpastes all other? 'last shooter
wins', 

i suggest to redefine this bug as an enhancement proposal, in the sense that if
someone works in this area he could keep an eye on this wish ...

it's not a 'bug' until somewhere is stated that handover of filter definitions
should be possible, imho that isn't yet, and it's practically hard up to
unresolveable while the capabilities are as different as they are ...
