Description of problem: If view "All" is selected filter is always restored to "All" every time rpmdrake is restarted, despite of the configuration file has correctly saved the old value. This problem is also in old mageia releases. I suspect that rpmdrake code has some old checks: # handle migrating config file from rpmdrake <= 4.9 if (exists $filters{$default_list_mode}) { $filter->[0] = $default_list_mode; $default_list_mode = 'all'; } but $default_list_mode is correctly set to all and so $filters{$default_list_mode} does exists, overriding $filter->[0]. If the comment is right... maybe that's not needed any more...
Assigning to Thierry. @Angelo: Is this meant as a follow-up on bug 13769?

@Remi, no they are different problems. In MageiaUpdate you can select all, but to remove the selection you need to push select all again (if ever works) that is bug #13769. Here i found that changing the filter to "installed" or "not installed" to show all installed or not installed packages of the group inside a "show all groups" has the side effect to restore to show all after restarting rpmdrake. If it is not clear i could provide a snapshot with the comboboxes i mean.
