Description Marc Dumais CLA 2013-05-06 13:58:53 EDT 
In the current implementation, a Multicore Visualizer canvas filter only remembers the current (latest) filtering level.  If a sub-filter is set, the previous filtering level is not remembered; the user needs to clear the filter and re-apply it to go back to a previous filter level.

It would be nice if different filtering levels applied by the user would be remembered and if it were easy to switch between them.  They could be displayed as a stack of filters, in order of depth.  A filtering sub-menu would be preferred for those entries, so as not to overload the context menu.
