Restoring 5.1 filters into 5.2

Help

I have moved to 5.2.
I copied custom_filters.xml from gramps51 to gramp52: this has several hundred lines of my filters. I got the error below when I restarted gramps. Please, is there a way I can restore my 5.1 filters into 5.2?

This looks like a bug introduced in commit 8b64b9f.

See PR #1383 - “Add the possibility to search sensitive/insensitive”.

Thank you. Do you want me to submit a bug report? Is there a work around that would allow me to move (most of) my filters?

Yes please.

This is a bug in the HasCommonAncestorWithFilterMatch filter rule. It has not been updated to accept the extra argument which we pass it. A new filter cannot be created using this rule.

I suspect that the same problem may exist in other rules.
