Frame filters support for excluding and OR options

Right now, filters only support inclusive selection. If I want to specify "everything EXCEPT low priority tasks" I have to filter on:

  • highest, high, medium, default, low

It would be easier if I could just specify:

  • not lowest

This becomes particularly ugly when I combine a couple of different markers to flag tasks that should not be included in active lists. In my case, I use:

  • priorities, where "lowest" means "just ignore this until further notice"

  • statuses, where "pinned" means "track it but never show it on a list"

These are both just ways of keeping track of "maybe tasks" or future ideas that might turn into tasks… but are not tasks yet.

Feature request

  1. Morgen should allow exclusive filters (e.g., "not") as well as inclusive. This could be done with a Tri-state toggle. Click once for include (checkmark), again for exclude (red X), and again for blank (not included in active filter).

  2. It would be fantastic if we could save filter configurations. In my case, I'd save the attached screenshot as my "default" so I could quickly return to it. Then instead of seeing a complex list of filter criteria I would just see my "default" filter as active.

    It would also be so helpful to me to be able to exclude in filters! Tristate toggle would be great to include/exclude things like tags, priorities, and lists.

    I.e. all the tasks with this #tag EXCEPT if those tasks occur in this Task List (i.e. Someday/Maybe).

    Or all tasks in these lists EXCEPT those with the tag “high-energy” so I can filter them out for certain frames, etc. Rather than tagging ALL my other tasks as “low-energy” which is a lot more work per task.
