Importing saved custom filters

[saucyjack]

I have a bunch of custom filters I'm hoping not to enter in manually. They are saved as files with a .filter extension and here's an example of what's inside:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><FilterCollection><OmahaHoleCardsFilter Name="OmahaHoleCards" Category="" Description="Omaha hole cards: AKQJ $ds;AKQT $ds;AKJT $ds;AKJ9 $ds;AKT9 $ds;AQJT $ds;AQJ9 $ds;AQT9 $ds;AQT8 $ds;AJT9 $ds;AJT8 $ds;AJT7$ds" Arguments="Custom,custom_omaha,pass,Custom Omaha Filter,AKQJ $ds;AKQT $ds;AKJT $ds;AKJ9 $ds;AKT9 $ds;AQJT $ds;AQJ9 $ds;AQT9 $ds;AQT8 $ds;AJT9 $ds;AJT8 $ds;AJT7$ds" /></FilterCollection>

That appears to be a HM2 filter. Unfortunately it is not possible to import exported HM2 filters to HM3 as they use wildly different code and different database englines. You will have to recreate them manually.

Here is a basic example of a HM2 filter vs a HM3 filter:

HM3:

saucyjack hm3|DidThreeBet=true and SawShowdown=true|04/03/2020 13:01:35

HM2:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><FilterCollection><BasicFilter Name="ComboActions" Category="" Description="Combo actions: saw showdown,3BET" Arguments="SAWSHOWDOWNYES|THREEBETYES" /></FilterCollection>

If you are versed in code you might be able to manually recreate them into the HM3 savedfilters file but the easiest way for most people would be using the Filter Editor and/or that with a mix of the HMQL filter bar at the top of the reports where you can mix the filter editor with the HMQL auto-complete, and even copy/paste as needed.

We do have a feature request in our system to add the ability to export/import HM3 filters but it will never be possible to import HM2 filters to HM3.
