Powerfilter - improvements
I have been using MLO for a while for general life-planning and task-management.
The filter in MLO is the best i have ever seen. The possibilities to configure really useful filters on the tasks was unbeatable.
Other feature were not fitting my needs thats why i switched back to MM. But i am missing the sophisticated filter options a lot. My suggestion is to improve the powerfilter up to that level of usability.
the idea in MLO is powerfull and simple.
it offers to combine all possible filter options in logical "clauses". Especially the NOT a tag is a powerfull filter sometimes. In powerfilter it is not really clear what the conditions within a filter group and between filter groups are.
in summary it offers kind of the same filter power as the SQL language for data base filtering. Basically it allows to select from the set of all nodes in the mindmap based on general filter conditions which can access all attributes of the nodes.
One very useful thing is for example to use date ranges which can be defined by offsets - like TODAY+7days.
thx-Alexander
I like this idea
So you like the filter in MLO.
Exactly what MLO filter settings are you missing in MindManager vs21 for Windows?
Are there MLO filter settings that you never use or don't like?
IF all that is known and specified in detail, it helps to decide how to vote.
Suggestion: Include images in the post. NOT attachments

While I agree that the filter facility in MindManager needs more development, you can achieve a lot with SmartRules and formulas, which each provide options - in different ways and to varying degrees - to construct logical arguments. SmartRules and formulas can also be combined with each other, and with filters. I would however like to see more consistency and integration between the three of them.

there are always work-arounds around perfection ;).
However sometimes it helps to spell out the perfection....
In total MM is a very useful thinking tool already with all the filtering options available, but there is a lot room for improvement too, if you want to follow a simple, yet complete and fully tool-based "procedure".
