Mario, Actually your bundler pluginhttps://wikilabs.github.io/editions/bundler/ .goes a long way to showing how you can reduce the effect or stray filters by counting the number of tiddlers selected. I could see an option to delete the same filtered set of tiddlers after export. This would mean forcing a group of tiddlers to be exported before deletion so there will be no regrets. I used to do that in TWC exporting TRASHED items before I emptied the Trash.
PS Condolences on the loss of a HD. Very sad event. :) Tony .
