    Collapsable/Expandable Filter Panes

    If we could have collapsible panes for the Detail Filters / Summary Filters / Slicer sections within Queries, we could increase the size of the Detail Filters section. Would be even better if you could choose to hide the ones you don't use, within...

    Make it possible to have a backup directory other than /tmp
