Working sets are great, but... they give us rope to hang ourselves.  We run with large numbers of projects open, many of which have launch configurations which appear as favourites.

If we use the Run dialog, we get the option to "Apply Window Working Set(s)", which works perfectly.

The concept of using the Window Working Set is great, but, support for filtering in the Run/Debug/Ext Tools buttons is missing... notably missing for me.

So... can I get my favourites... or even my favorites filtered?  Please... :)

(I dare you to fix this in less than 14 hours too... ;)

No plans to work on something like this, tagging BugDay.

I don't understand why this bug is not given more priority. It really limits the usefulness of Window Working Sets.

All the other filtering settings for launch configurations (like filtering of closed projects and of specific configuration types) are also applied to the dropdown menu of the Debug/Run tool button, only "Apply Window Working Set(s)" is ignored, which is an inconsistency.
