Daily user of this great add-on. However it stopped working altogether at some point; I'm not sure when. I'm currently running Thunderbird 128.2.0esr (64-bit) on Windows 23H2. I upgraded the extension to v1.2. I uninstalled/reinstalled it. I cleared checkboxes and restarted Thunderbird. Reenabling logging for each mail account doesn't seem to do anything. No logs are displayed.
-/Response to Dillinger's question/-
I've been using the add-on for a few years so I realize it is a shortcut but one which no longer functions. I can bring up my various filterlog.html files for each account in a browser, but I used to be able to view them within Thuderbird by pressing your button in TBird's menu bar which still does bring up the Message Filters dialog. But when I then click the button in the little Filter Log child dialog, logs are no longer displayed there.
Upon review of the bug documentation, I think that is the source of the problem: I have to resize the dialog box EVERY TIME I OPEN IT, for EACH ACCOUNT, now. And it's not easy to do because the resize handle doesn't perfectly align to the cursor. But it does appear to be Thunderbird's fault and not yours.
A VERY STUPID REGRESSION. And the Bugzilla report is closed? Marked closed/solved? Folded into another Bug#? I can't tell and as a user not a team nerd it's saddening.
Phish fighting is hard enough already without a major tool becoming unusable.
Thank you, Dillinger.
What stopped working?
This button only brings up the Message Filters dialog, it has no effect at all on whatever you do in there.
As for the logs, try resizing the Filter Log dialog, it could be this bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1691301

Nice add-on, i just wish you could make it automatically run rules more frequently than every 10 minutes
This add-on can not change, or even read, your filters.
It is nothing more than a shortcut to the Message Filters dialog.
Adding such functionality would require a completely different add-on.

Love this addon; however, it is not working with 117.0b6 (64 bit) beta
This review is for a previous version of the add-on (1.1).Updated to 1.2, it works now.

Please add ability to run a filter from drop down list or buttons near Filters buttons to run a filter for a selected message.

Awesome! This is all I wanted. So hard to find simple workarounds like this after every update. Thanks!

Perfect! It does exactly what it's supposed to do. For power-users who are creating, testing and tweaking their filters... or for new users who are busy getting set-up for the first time... this add-on brings ONE-CLICK access to the filters. No more clicking tiny drop-down menus and choosing the tiny options. This brilliantly simple add-on is exactly what I needed.
