Ciao Fibbles & Suzanne This is a really interesting thread! I learned a lot from it.
I think part of the problem many of us have is the SYNTAX of filters is *both sophisticated and really difficult to master*. [!is[system]] -[tags[]is[system]tagging[]] +[sort[title]] [[Program tips]] +[putfirst[]] [tags[]!is[system]sort[title]] [[contents]] Whilst I can see NOW, more or less, how that makes sense, a non-tech begginer would likely see that as difficult variant of Algebraic Lithuanian with Albanian Qualifiers (p.s. some of my best friends are Lithuanians; not so sure about the Albanians :-). My point? I do wonder whether we might develop a click-interface to ease the creation/learning of filters <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/tiddlywiki/qDiR3ONkbrs/dETL1PaeAQAJ>.
