Ah.  I now realise that I have misunderstood the work-flow.

After 'f p', what is displayed is not the list of factories but the menu of
existing filters organised by factory.

I must choose 'new filter' and then I get a list of factories with which I
can make a filter interactively.  Once I have done this, my new filter
'Year range : (1967 1969)' appears in the menu in the Year range section.
Q: is there a way, in the interactive filter creation, to name the new
filter (in my case to something like '1967-69'?

Sorry for my incomplete understanding of this nice tool,

---Fran
