Hi List!

I'm thinking about renaming these entries.

Currently, we have the context menu items named "Match" and "Prepare". This is a bit short and not easy to understand.

I would tend to rename it:

Match   -> Apply as Filter
Prepare -> Prepare a Filter

Explanation:
The term "Apply" is already used in the GUI, and better explains what will be done (compared to "Match").
Question: What's better: "Apply as Filter" or "Apply as Display Filter"?


Selected         -> Selected
Not Selected     -> Not Selected
And Selected     -> ... and Selected
Or Selected      -> ... or Selected
And Not Selected -> ... and not Selected
Or Not Selected  -> ... or not Selected

Explanation:
I want to distinguish "visually" between the subitems that replaces the filter and the ones that will append to the existing string in the filter text entry.
Question: Any better term for ...?


I've done some experiments in my personal source tree, and it's looking much "easier" this way.

Any comments?

Regards, ULFL
