Area Creation Support
This is an awesome mod, and now that I have it I can't play without it. Thank you for all of your work.

I do have a request though. Is it possible that upon importing a saved search that uses a filter based on an area, that if that area does not exist in the current map it be automatically created? There is currently nothing in the UI that supports the player in this way. So say I have 5 areas with different filters using those areas. I save all my filters so I can use them in my next game. But in my next game, all of these areas do not exist. And there is not easy way to create them, I have to create them manually, one by one, and have to make sure to type them exactly the same as before. And after creating them, the Custom Alerts UI still looks like they are not created (the filter is shown with a red border).

My suggestion: If automatically creating the areas is not the right way to go for any reason, there is still a good alternative solution. When you click the area button that has the red border around it, it shows a list of possible areas. Add a button at the top or bottom of this drop down menu saying "create <area name>..." . This actually might be even better, because you can then after hitting that button jump the player to a mode where they are dragging a rectangle to define the area right there.

This would make new games immensely less tedious and will have a larger effect with the more filters you have. This feature would really complement the feature of saved alerts well.
