Filter by Label Options
in progress

I've noticed some fluctuation in how I can filter my Codex (and hopefully later on snippets and chats as well, ;D) using labels. For a while, I could select multiple labels and it would sort them as either [Label] AND [Label], or [Label] NOT [Label], but this has been suspended.
Right now, the work-around is to filter by Category, Type, and Label, each one offering one filtering option at a time, and it's functional, but every time I need to look at something different I have to clear the filters and re-filter.
I would really like to see all of the following filter options employed for labels:
[Label] - Filters for all entries with indicated label (currently in use).
[Label] AND [Label] - Filters for entries that include both/all labels indicated. (not currently in use, was previously (and I miss it!))
[Label] NOT [Label] - Filters for entries with first label and not the second. (Not currently in use, but was previously).
NOT [Label] - Filters out entries with indicated label (Currently in use).
NOT [Label] NOT [Label] - Filters out entries with either indicated labels, but not necessarily both. (Not currently in use, but was previously, and it is missed.)
[Label] OR [Label] - Filters entries with either label, but not necessarily both. (I haven't seen this employed yet, and I would REALLY, REALLY like to see this filtering option. It would help so much in customizing the entries I see, without having to reset and re-filter every time I need to look for something different.)
Thank you!

Thank you so much, Spaceemotion. I will look forward to experimenting with the 'Any' sort mode, and eagerly await the return of sorting with multiple tags!

Small update. In the next release, there'll be an option to turn the filter into "any" mode. This is only for Tags/labels on codex entries. Would you use this for types and/or categories as well (which are single-option only right now)?

spaceemotion To be able to have this logic in in a category's tag filter would be cool, yes.
(If you can see it in your heart to provide union as well as intersect/except, that would be amazing. Like... "Secondary Character AND (Rival OR Enemy)"...)

Quicksilver Boa due to the interface just becoming wayy to complex that's not something i want to add. it would just get wayy too messy in the dropdowns.

spaceemotion What about just a "custom advanced filter" option that just exposes a text field that someone could just type out a set expression?

This seems to have been a regression/oversight. The next update will include the ability to filter by multiple tags again.
It does not offer the ability to say OR, just AND (and NOT on individual tags).

Having Union, Intersect, and Except operations would be amazing, yes!
