Description:

[NB. !Filters 1.12 replaces !Filters 0.37 *and* !PinFilter 1.10.]

Filters contains some useful patches to improve the Pinboard and Filer.
Filters is fully configurable and can provide the following patches:

 * SetCSD     - set currently selected directory by dragging switcher icon,
 * Confirm    - force the filer to ask confirmation only for delete operations,
 * IconSprite - load sprite files into Wimp pool or toolsprites pool by
                dragging to Palette Utility/Display Manager/Desktop Control,
 * FilerPin   - pin directories to Pinboard rather than iconising their windows,
 * DontClaim  - prevent Pinboard acknowledging Message_WindowClosed,
 * PinFilter  - save files into a temporary directory when dragged from save
                boxes to the Pinboard; files can have a configurable expiry
                time,
 * Basket     - wastebasket that intercepts delete operations from the filer,
                with configurable expiry time,
 * Iconise    - iconise windows without using the shift key by one of four
                (configurable) methods:

                (1) a window iconise icon (next to the close icon),
                (2) using the MENU mouse button instead of shift,
                (3) clicking ADJUST on the window's back icon,
                (4) clicking SELECT and holding for a configurable time on the
                    window's close icon.
