Hi Dwight.

I don't know how to interpret
    Context is not: and "Someday" and "Maybe" are selected   

The closest I can find to "Context is not" would be "Contexts does not contain" - is that what you are using? 

Your folder named "z -Someday and Maybe" sounds to me like it should probably be hidden from all of your to-do list (i.e. non-hierarchical) views, is that correct? If so, I would mark the folder "hide the branch in To-Do" (in General Properties) and code a rule:
    (Contexts does not contain Someday) And (Contexts does not contain Maybe)

You could also try to collapse this to a single rule with multiple contexts selected - I try to avoid that as it can get confusing - is there an implied "or" between the context names or is it an implied "and"? The correct answer changes if there's a "not" in the rule. Confusing.

Anyhow, if you do not want to hide the folder I would code    
    (Contexts does not contain Someday) And (Contexts does not contain Maybe) And (FolderName does not contain Maybe)

I'm pretty sure this will exclude anything that's contained in your "z" folder. It may not exclude the "z" folder itself because the "z" folder is probably NOT contained in a folder whose name includes "Maybe". If that is what happens, in my view the easiest cure would be to put the context "Maybe" onto the "z" folder. The only drawback would be that any task you drag into the "z" folder from then on would get the Maybe context automatically assigned, even if it was supposed to be a Someday task.

Greetings,

I am trying create a filter so that a folder named "z -Someday and Maybe" that I would like to filter out and remove from a view.  I set advanced filter to

FolderName Does Not Contain "maybe" AND
Context is not: and "Someday" and "Maybe" are selected

However, the "z -Someday and Maybe" folder remains in the view.  

Any suggestions on how to filter that folder and it's contents out of the view would be appreciated.

Thank You,
Dwight...
