Saved filters

I'd really like saved filters in the to-read pile. This is great for if you have a mood you're commonly in and would save you from having to check all the boxes/type in tag names every times.

Adding under this same request - but can create separately if preferred Nadia I like the saved filter option, but if that is more difficult to implement, is a another option to be able to build a search of my TBR list, then save the final search results. It could be a static list - not updating as my TBR changes. And then from that list I could "delete" things - just removing them from the static list (not the TBR)
The example that came to mind is that I was building an October TBR of all the Horror books I own but haven't read. From that I created my October TBR. I had to go through that search result and type everything again into a separate document that I can reference as the month goes on. It would be nice to just go to my saved list. :)
The alternate, alternate option... would be (maybe) the easiest? The ability to export my search results into excel. Then at least I have my spreadsheet without having to type everything. Thanks for reading!
cajengirl Thank you for this! This should be a separate ticket as it's a different idea/feature really (and only add it if it's something you'd want in addition to saved filters)! We don't discount features because there's an easier alternative. We focus on doing the best for our users, no matter how complex. And if you you write out this feature, please write it how your ideal version would work, not incorporating any compromises. :-D
With this particular suggestion though, any reason why you didn't make a custom tag called "october-tbr"? Instead of going down the search results and adding each book, you would have added the tag, and then you could filter your TBR list down to that!
Nadia good idea about the tag! But... Now I need to search to see if there is a feature request of "add tag to all" on search result. Or the ability to select multiple and add tag. 😊
I will think about my request and decide if I want to crest a separate request or not.
cajengirl Brilliant! We actually don't have it on the roadmap yet, but bulk add/update/edit is functionality I've been talking about bringing to the app for a long time! 😅
We used to have this feature in one of the earliest versions of the app, back when we were in beta, but I shut it down because they weren't being used and the way I had implemented it back then was a pain to maintain! :-D
I like this! Maybe also a default button that lets you filter for your most common type of books? Like what gets put on your profile (Mainly reads...)
