Make filter input field red when active

Stefaan | Last updated: Sep 17, 2015 07:59AM UTC

Hi, I have a small, but potentially time saving request: Could you please make the filter input field in the Target and Proxy tabs turn red when a filter is active? This is purely a visible indication to show the user that there is a filter active. Sometimes I forget the fact that I put a filter for one job when executing the next job (as filter settings are kept over different burp launches). Thank you, Stefaan

Are you referring to the bar above the site map / Proxy history labelled "Filter"? This bar shows a textual representation of the filter, and says "Showing all items" when everything is visible. This is hopefully a sufficient visual indication that there is a filter active. Since Burp applies some filter options by default, and users generally need some filters applied, we don't want to have this bar always appearing in red.
