For what it's worth, here's the code I insert into the filter plugin to
allow me to have selectable filters:
<!-- MAS SELECTION CODE HERE -->
<$select tiddler="$:/temp/tdn/user-filter" default='General Usage'>
<$list filter='[tag[Filter]sort[title]]'>
<option value={{!!text}}><$view field='caption'/></option>
</$list>
</$select>
<!-- MAS END SELECTION CODE HERE -->
It gets inserted below <$vars uf=...
Each filter tiddler is tagged 'Filter', has a caption field to describe it,
and the filter content goes in the text field.
My flow is that usually first thing in the morning I reset used tiddlers,
check items due for the day, and use various filters to look at things that
are in waiting mode and move them into the task list for the day. Some
tasks that are for late in the day are given a priority for later, and
hidden away until needed. Having a drop-down filter makes this moving back
and forth simpler.
