I've been meaning for some while to post about my experiences with the most recent version (in Git) of Fpdb, as the new features are very exciting. I've had a lot of fun with the statistics window, which has taught me things I didn't know about my game, for instance just how much I am making by set-mining with small pocket pairs. It's very useful no longer to be merely making educated guesses about such important matters!
Unfortunately I've run into difficulties. The most recent changes seem to have removed the passthrough filter, and now it refuses to import hands. The Pokerstars filter doesn't work for me.
I'd like to be able to carry out further testing, and determine what is going wrong with the PS filter, but this is just not possible if there is no simple way for me to disable this filter whenever I encounter problems and reinstate the (old) passthrough filter. I might have misunderstood, but fpdb_import.py seems to have been changed to remove the passthrough code, or something of the sort.
I've managed to revert to some older version of the code, but only after an hour and a half of swearing and struggling with arcane Git options. The following advice didn't quite work:

This didn't work because it (so far as I could tell) reverted to a version in which the passthrough filter was already disabled. And version 0.11 is no good, as the DB schema has changed.
I'd be delighted to hear about a simple solution if one exists!
