Using copy (Command C) on mac inside the filters dialogbox CLEARS ALL the filters, as it seems to trigger the "clear" button. This means I can't copy and paste filter lines in the exclude section of my project. Very annoying. Suggest choosing a different shortcut key for the "clear" button.

This seems like another wxWidgets bug where button label access keys incorrectly take precedence over short cuts of a standard text control with input focus, as in:
http://trac.wxwidgets.org/ticket/11320
I'm not sure if using "`command + <char>`" for button label access keys is the default behavior for OS X applications in first place, so there's probably a second wxWidgets design issue here.
Until wxWidgets fixes these issues in the decades to come, I'll rename "Clear" to "Reset", to make the FreeFileSync filter dialog workable again.
