Hi Jed The filters themselves don't impose uniqueness -- items are, however, dominantly appended. If I wish to add an item, and an instance of that item already occurs in the list, then that instance will be removed the moment the second 'copy' gets added. Don't know if this is due only to the $tw.utils.stringifyList function. Anyway, this must be fixed elsewhere, and has nothing to do with my widget, or the filters themselves.
I also had thoughts toward providing a separate parameter to add/remove items -- however, in the interests of avoiding complexity, new items could only be appended to the tail of the list (the filter mechanism could be applied afterward to manipulate the amended list.) regards On Friday, 16 October 2015 23:27:02 UTC+2, Jed Carty wrote: > > Ahh, it looks like what you have made can do everything (or almost > everything, I don't know if it can make lists of non-unique items) what I > made can do and is probably more flexible.
