If you are going to experiment with multi-stage custom filters, I strongly suggest that you:

> [@Experimental FilterParams add-on, Dark themes and Glade](https://gramps.discourse.group/t/experimental-filterparams-add-on-dark-themes-and-glade/2020/1):
>
> add Kari’s experimental [FilterParams addon](https://github.com/kkujansuu/gramps/tree/master/addons/FilterParams) - ([FilterParams ReadMe.md](https://github.com/kkujansuu/gramps/blob/master/addons/FilterParams/README.md) )

FilterParams eliminates the confusion over which filter rule output flows into another filter.

Also, it may be the _only_ Cancel that successfully aborts a Gramps operation which shows a progressbar.
