Direct Access to Saved Filters

Post by bkonia »

It would be good if there was a way to directly apply saved filters, without having to first open the filter window. One way to implement this would be to have a saved filters tab bar. This would be a second-tier tab bar that would appear below the main tab bar for topics. When you click on the tab for a particular topic, the second-tier tab bar would automatically update to show the saved filters for that topic. Clicking on the leftmost tab would remove all filters. Clicking on any of the other tabs would apply the filter shown on that tab.

Another way you could do this would be to have a dropdown box that would appear on the toolbar. The dropdown box would contain all the available filters for the currently selected topic. My preference would be the tab bar implementation, as this would only require a single-click to apply a filter and it would be more consistent with the existing tabbed UI.
