Is there any way to add quality chest filters?

Yes now there is.

when using my existing file i get:

Error while running event Better-Linked-Chest::on_configuration_changed
Better-Linked-Chest/control.lua:26: attempt to index field 'name_id_table' (a nil value)
stack traceback:
Better-Linked-Chest/control.lua:26: in function <Better-Linked-Chest/control.lua:25>

new game starts without error.

Try V1.2.2 - hopefully fixed your bug.

seems to be working now thanks

3364.257 Error MainLoop.cpp:1435: Exception at tick 215377101: The mod Better Linked Chest (1.2.2) caused a non-recoverable error.
Please report this error to the mod author.

Error while running event Better-Linked-Chest::on_gui_opened (ID 96)
Unknown item name: gear-wheel
stack traceback:
[C]: in function 'newindex'
__Better-Linked-Chest/control.lua:61: in function <Better-Linked-Chest/control.lua:28>

i was opening and re assigning the chests and got this error opening gears.

Should be fixed in V1.2.3
