More powerful filters

[imeed166]

What would you like to be added?

• Add the ability to choose between OR or AND when adding new filters.
• Add the ability to have group filters, as you can see here https://www.notion.so/help/guides/using-advanced-database-filters or here https://support.airtable.com/docs/advanced-filtering-using-conditions

Why is this needed?

Users might need more granular filtering for each view, the current set of options is a good start but has only a limited number of use cases.

I intentionally left this out of scope for the initial version, but it's definitely coming at some point!

Here's a simpler implement, from webofscience's search. In this case, keywords AND/OR describes the relationship between additional conditions with the main one.

Is there a way to use Regex or some other search syntax to do "or" searches with the existing filters? If not, maybe that'd be an easy way to implement this, or at least a stop-gap!

This is extremely needed, I can't find a way to simply separate "Done" projects from those "Not done" yet. When I select the filter: Where > Status (property) > Is not > Done Then when I create a new file, it doesn't show up due to its default status is blank, I don't know why the plugin doesn't show that file although it doesn't contain "Done" in status property

Hello @SaifEl-Deen, I have looked into the problem you mentioned and found that the description is not "Done" can be somewhat misleading. When we apply an is / is not filter to projects, notes with empty property values are automatically ignored. Perhaps we could consider making some improvements in this area.

@Acylation Thank you, it's really appreciated <3

It definitely shouldn't ignore the empty ones as this leave us with no way to show up projects with an empty value neither in a Done view or a Not done view.
