Hi Bob, I will discuss proper operation of filters and such with you later but first I wanted to help you get the zoom right, because it is designed for what you are doung and works well.
You said that "Zooming into one of [your views] sets the zoom for all of them." It sounds as though you are using the option to synchronize zooms across workspaces. Right click on the tab for a workspace where you plan to zoom and select something like "setup workspace". (Sorry I can't be more precise but I'm away from my desktop). Look for an option that says something like "sync zoom" and turn it off. You may see another option like "sync selection" - it seems that you may have that on as well, you could play with it and see if you like the behaviour better with this one on or off. Zoom sync is a wonderful tool for example if you are managing multiple projects and you have a series of project management views like What should I do next Is anything overdue What starts tomorrow Do I have any phone calls to make Etc Rather than making a copy of each view for each project, you can just make a set of views with zoom synch. Then, when you zoom to a project for one view they all switch to viewing that same project. But if you have zoom synch enabled when you don't really want it, you get problems like the one you described. -Dwight Mlo betazoid on Android sgn2 On Sep 24, 2015, Bob Clark <[email protected]> wrote: >Thanks Dwight, > >I'm trying your suggestion, but I'm not sure that's what I want.
