This may not be the best time to bring this up but …
In filters if you want to negate the effect of an entry you have to negate the entire filter
So if you want everyone but uncle Henry you have to have a filter with one line that defines uncle Henry and then negate the filter by selecting the return values which do not apply. If you have a complicated filter you could end up with lots of one line filters.
Why not incorporate the negation on a one line basis by adding a flag which adds a boolean NOT to the line.
When replying please bear in mind that I have no idea how filters work so I realize this could be adding a layer of coding which is very complicated and unlikely to ever be incorporated.

I really like that idea. I’ve a lot, a very lot - thousands, of filters and some of them are just there to negate another one to be able to use that negative filter in a third one. I’ll really happy with this kind of improvement.
Let’s go all the way and ask for boolean operators between rules within the filter. and rules which keep their position in the filter when edited. We could then have
a AND NOT b OR NOT C
More complex rules could be written within one filter.
