Visual Filters and Tagging or Labels

Post by WordBaron »

Is it possible to use a Visual Filter (or Power Filter) to show things either tagged or labeled? I haven't seen it in the documentation for the Filters and was wondering if that feature exists?

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Nope. Use Quick Search (F3)
example pattern: find current list items tagged with hiprio or critical

Code: Select all

tags: hiprio;critical
Or just enter the search pattern right in the addressbar prefixed with a ?.

Code: Select all

?tags: hiprio;critical
This ?prefixed pattern can also be appened to the addressbar when it's showing current path! Wow!

Code: Select all

C:\urrent\Path\?tags: hiprio;critical
(btw, you can also visual filter this way: only use a | instead of ? before the VF pattern)

Also suggest you turn this on Configuration > Find Files & Branch View > Find Files > Show quick search results in current tab

Thanks Sammay!

I forgot about the quick search. I guess the thing I love about the Filters is that I can save and label them so I can quickly choose a pre-built one when I need it.

I'll try to remember to use the history on the quick search to do searches like this from now on.

Thanks again.
