I think you miss the point. If you select a view like '1+2' and in the meantime you want to switch to '3' then you have to explicitly to reselect '1+2' from the menu with entering '1+2' again, although it is still cached. For singular views you got shortcuts, they can be accessed very fast. That is why I create a label especially because of those joint views, to access them right faster through a mouse click, then entering the tag combination again and again to the menu, once you want to switch back to such a view. There is nothing wrong with displaying cached views (they are destroyed if no tag exists anymore, thus their lifetime is not longer than singular tags). Regards, -- Anselm R.
