To add a filter, you need to use jigadmin only (the form based editor has
been removed).
You must use jigadmin, and edit the frames. If you can't, maybe the tar.gz
distributaion was untarred using GNU tar, which leads to strange
behaviour!
Otherwise, the right thing to do if you want to add filter is,
1/ select the resource
2/ open the frame browser (by clicking on the frame helper)
3/ open the little resource node in the new tree
4/ select the protocolframe (commonly HTTPFrame)
5/ Click on "back to add frame"
6/ add your filter there. The new filter will appear as a son of the
   protocol frame, and you can edit it by cliking on it.
Hope this help,
