Thanks for sharing insights in your workflow! Maybe this is the way to 
go for me as well regarding that point.

I am aware of these tags and used them already for filters. Anyway, the 
color marks are helpful to get a fast visual overview of your keeper's 
states, which is one reason I prefer them for the traffic light state 
visualization.

What I dislike about complex filtering is that film roll and filter 
cannot be separated. When I select a film roll (or whatever is the 
common basis of a set of images, maybe an event tag, time period or 
whatever) and want to switch between different additional filter 
presets, I have to save my basic selection criterion and my additional 
criteria within one preset, ending up with the same presets for each and 
every film roll what makes things very confusing. Is there a solution 
for that? Unfortunately, one cannot duplicate the collect images module.

Thanks again and best regards

Chris
