[Feature Request] store advanced searches as list of clickable buttons #133

Description

@AM-XR

Suggestion:
Similar as the tags column and locations column on the left side, advanced searches could be stored between them in a new container to facilitate the management of large quantity of advanced searches with easily clickable stored search commands.
This would extend the tag functionality to build specialized search based workflows and create a lot of qol and speed especially for exclusions of subsets.

use case:
a project named "example_project" has different categories of images like:
screenshots, inProgress, final, asset, etc.

I want to quickly access a advanced search that excludes "assets" and "final" tags from all "example_project" images, for example for brainstorming or portfolio work. Typing/ clicking this in is cumbersome if there are a lot of projects and one does need that all the time. (Main use case)

with this feature one could quickly access search commands like:

  • show all images for 3 specific tags
  • show all images with tag "a" excluding "b" and "c"
  • etc.

workaround:

  • the additive workflow can partially achieved at the moment with nested tags, but not fully
  • the subtractive workflow can only be chieved with cumbersome manual advanced search at the moment, if not mistaken.

thank you very much for this great project :)


for context information: I am coming from eagle app. There a similar feature is called "smart folders". But i think a simpler clickable stored advanced search command would suffice in most cases. https://de.eagle.cool/support/article/smart-folders
