I thought the same thing. As I read the documentation, that's exactly
what a filter is supposed to do. But I have a "blank" filter, which
claims it will connect any USB device, and that doesn't happen. My guest
doesn't see the device until I select it in the guest menu. It's that
problem which prompted my initial request for help.

In my case, I have only one guest. I'm only running VBox because the
application won't run on a recent Fedora release and the hardware won't
work with an old release. Solution, run the old release as a guest under
the new release. But the application needs to use the flash drive.
