Good day. Using TB38 (yeah, I know, pretty old). Using QuickFilters 3.5. This used to work, but now, right-clicking on a folder and selecting "Run Filters" does nothing. Selecting "Run Filters on Folder" from the Tools menu still works. Thank you. Best Regards,
Created an attachment (id=8484) [details] 3.6 prerelease 25 Bugfix, affecting the Inbox only. There was some additional code for running the filters correctly on non-Inbox folders but this shouldn't be affected by this bug.
Hi Alex. Actually, this was not working for me on a "Local Folders" sub-folder, so it was more than just the Inbox. Are you able to try it on a local folder? Thank you. Best Regards,

In theory this should work but only if the filters are stored in Local Folders. If you create filters with the assistant these are usually stored in the account where they originate from.
Good day. That's right, those filters are stored in the Local Folders filter list, not in an account (I have a msgFilterRules.dat in the Local Folders folder in my profile.) It used to work that I could right-click one of those folders and run the filters on it, but it no longer does anything. However, using the Tools menu "Run Filters on current folder" still works fine. Thank you.
Fix released 16/06/2018 in version 3.6
