icon Option to filter certain holds from the "Choose Hold" list (+1)  
In the editor mainscreen to the top left, there is a list entitled "Choose Hold". I, and probably others, often have many holds on that list that do not belong to the current, active profile on the computer.

Having multiple holds made by other people can fill up that list very quickly, thus making it harder to see which holds are most relevant to you: your own. This is why I propose a toggleable checkbox that hides holds made by other people and allows you to view only your own holds in the "Choose Hold" list.

The "Choose Hold" list could use a whole lot more filtering. It'd be nice if you could set up folders (so that you could import ten contest entries into a separate folder, rather than having them scattered alphabetically through your holds list).

For this particular topic, though, I recommend giving your holds a name starting with a space. That alphabetizes them before anything starting with a letter, which puts them at the top of the holds list. (Just rename the hold to remove the space before exporting it and posting it.)
