Filtering/Sorting Memories

FS Memories has always allowed for filtering on items not tagged
or items not in an album or items with no title.

I have never understood why FS doesn't allow the converse!!?? (items that are tagged or items that are in an album)

For many of us it is just as important to know what items have been tagged - - so that we then can move them from one album to another (moving them out of a "pass thru" album).

If you are going to let us choose one selection - then please allow us to choose the inverse/converse.

    Thanks for sharing feedback. And thank you for your patience with the limitations of our product, because, yes, the filtering tool does have limitations (as noted in your example).

    I will share this idea with the appropriate team.

    Why did some engineer randomly decide that people needed to filter on
    "Memories Not Tagged"
    but that we did not need
    "Memories that ARE Tagged"

    and same for other negative options
    this is a bit crazy that we can only filter on the negative and not the positive.


    It use to be that you could visually see such things
    and at least do a multi item select and action based on whether you saw the tagged or not icon. Now you dont even see the "add tag" icon . . . so you end up in the dark as to tagged status.

    Thanks for merge - just wondering if we can get some sort of response out of the engineers.

    Yes, we recognize that you have made this request before. Others have also made this request.

    We forward all requests to the Memory Team. For now, the filter options are limited and were decided upon after much review. We will again share this request, but we ask for patience.

    Perhaps in future updates, a "Tagged Memories" filter option will be available.

    I am patient
    Many of us, I think, would probably be more patient - if we could get at least some simple direct feedback from the memories team / engineers - telling us what they think about given issues.
    (Im not looking for any guarantees nor explicit details nor an exact time table - simply some confirmation that our suggestions are just not going into some black hole)

    I appreciate all that all of you all do as community moderaters and administrators - I really do !
    but I just dont understand why engineers and other leaders / administrators dont at least take a more active role in the community - avoiding us totally relying on a "third party" (community moderators)
    I mean I totally realize most engineers need to stay focused on their work and not get distracted by every post in the community - I get that - but it would be nice if some sort of memories team lead focused on user interaction could be a representative of all the engineers.
