I started up Shotwell (latest build from trunk) and was very

Eventually I realised that a filter term from an earlier invocation of
Shotwell was still active. I hit F8 to bring up the filter bar,
cleared the term and all was well. But it was an alarming experience
as I thought I has lost all my photos.

Thanks for being brave enough to run our trunk build! :) Glad you figured it out.

As a result I would like to suggest that
a) when a filter is active the filter bar is always visible

Yes - we certainly agree.  This is not implemented yet, but will be soon.

b) the filter should not be carried over from one invocation of
Shotwell to the next invocation.

I'm not as sure about this one - if we implement (a), then it should be clear to the user when a filter is active and so it might be useful to persist the filter between invocations. Will think about this more.
