You mentioned that each time you hit measure it crease a new set of measurements and keeps the last set too.
Well, I've only played with 4.0 a couple times, but I think that's correct. There are a total of nine measurements -- they're along the left side of the GUI. So, if you measured once, your measurements are in window #1; measure again, in window #2, etc. If, on your second measurement, in window #2, you determine some filters and apply them to the BFD, that information is saved in window #2 (at least temporarily -- you have the option to store it more permanently by selecting the File->SaveFilters option (or similar)).

OK. So you did measurement #2, downloaded them to the BFD and you're ready to do measurement #3. So you do that, and you get the result of whatever filters you had applied previously. The filters from #2 are not there. And you're right -- they don't really "carry forward".

However! They are still preserved in #2, and it's easy to go back there to continue to tweak those filters. Now, you can also go to the "All measured" tab and select which measurements to view. That way you can see #2 and #3 at the same time.

Why not just have them carry forward?
I agree that there should be an option.
