Hi,
I'm surprised to not be able to find the answer, sorry if i missed it in the forum.
Let's say i create 4 tags (tag1, tag2, tag3, tag4). Songs can have one or several tags. This tags are now available as a list next to my search field, but i only can select one tag at a time as a filter. for exemple i would like to select both tag 1 and tag 2 so VDJ display tracks with contain both tags 1 and 2. How do you manage to filter several tags in one time ?
Thank you for your help.
All the best

Quick filters can indeed only be combined together (track has tag1 AND tag2)
To display one OR the other (track has tag1 OR tag2) you need to create a FILTER folder where you have much more power and control over attributes of tracks.
Quick filters, are just that. A quick way to filter out data. A decision had to be made whether their combination would act as "AND" or "OR" and for most users "AND" is much more usefull than "OR"
So: Quick filters (next to search bar) always use AND. Use Filter folders instead if you wish / must use "OR"

Instead of using a quick filter with 'list', you can also create a quick filter specifically for 'tag1' or 'tag2', just as you would create a regular filter folder

I thought about a different way but it means a very different way of writing quick_filters.
you write quick filters with "catch all" rules like [that seem silly until you understand]
BPM > 0
But these are really just logical indicators, then have a button to build a string to send to quick_filter 0
A complicated way to do things but if you want selectable logic with OR filtering, it is possible, it just needs a different set up and one extra click in performance.
example case here,
quick_filter 1 is representing ( bpms > 100 & bpms < 109 )
quick_filter 2 is representing ( bpms > 125 & bpms < 140 )
