Hi all I still don't get how the "Setup Advanced filtering" dialog is supposed to work (Windows). Let's say, I want to create a rule like this (SQLish notation):
( dueDate <= today OR startDate <= today OR starred = true ) AND hasNextReview = false I learned that the booleans work with siblings, not with childs (as I initially thought), that means I would have something like this AND dueDate <= today OR startDate <= today OR starred = true OR hasNextReview = false AND Now, assuming this is correct - how do I easily add this to the advanced filter dialog? First attempt: "Add sub-rule" Nothing happens at all. Second attempt: "Add rule" (let's start from the bottom): [X] NextReviev - does not exist - AND Fine, now the next block is not a rule, it's rather a set of sub rules. When I click "Add sub-rule", it will behave weirdly: [X] > [X] .... (empty) Where has my "NextReview" line gone? I can try to revert and delete the empty sub-rule, but that doesn't work. All I can do is delete all rules and start from scratch. Pretty cumbersome. I solved this by exporting the rules, sending them to my android device, editing there (it's better but still bad), sending it back to my windows device, noticing that the rule doesn't work. In the end I opened the XML and modified it by hand. Cumbersome, IMHO. In another post <https://groups.google.com/d/msg/mylifeorganized/iIqFqs4Kl1Y/oTOivaMYAQAJ> I saw Stéph write something that looks very similar to my pseudo code snippets. Are there activities ongoing to improve this? Some kind of pseudo code like remember the milk offers <https://www.rememberthemilk.com/help/answer/basics-search-advanced>would be awesome. I must admit that this is the only part of MLO I really hate. It could be so powerful and is such a nightmare to use. It's really frustrating. Cheers André PS: On my 4K screen I can only guess what the filters mean -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MyLifeOrganized" group.
