Two small changes i think would significantly increase Ingo's usability:

1) When adding a filter with self-defined headers, the order of the fields
is currently:
Self Defined Header Select:  |  Contains Select:  |  <value>  |  <header
name>

This is very confusing, since the value / header input fields are not
labeled, and one could easily think that since teh drop downs are ordered
"Self Defined Header" then "Contains" that the input fields should be in the
same order (header then value). Anyway a very simple fix that would make
this FAR more intuitive would be to redraw them:

Self Defined Header:  |  <header name>  |  Contains:  |  <value> 

This fixes both of the problems above, and make it 100% clear what goes
where. 

If you want i will create a patch upon request.

2) Many filters inputs require 1200px + screen width when the folders menu
is displayed, otherwise they wrap. When they wrap it looks terrible, and the
input fields lose their implicit meaning. Why not make each rule input a
<li> and then use a <br> after each individual field select and value input
combination? This will solve the wrap problem and simultaneously make the
filter add page look much cleaner.
