Is it possible to filter by tags?

Help
1

Wanting to know if this feature already exists or not before I submit it as a wishlist idea.

I want to be able to use the filter function (not search) to hide files that have a certain tag. Let’s say I’m in a folder that contains files with the tags “foo” and “bar”. I want to be able to, using the filter bar, exclude the tag “bar”, thus hiding all files that have the tag bar.

Obviously, I can search by tags in a current directory, but being able to do it via filter would be rather useful I think.

Filtering is currently very simple, as is its implementation, solely based of filenames.

What you are asking is negative filtering, which is something that is not meant for filtering, and not implemented in search even.

Searching has some work improvement going on.

I’m not sure why it wouldn’t be “meant for filtering”. The filter system already takes simple regexes; if full regexes are implemented, surely using ‘!’ should “just work”, unless I am misunderstanding filter implementation.
