Filtering collection, album and item lists - was: List of available filters in private mode

[ioverka]

instance: outbox
version: 3.3.1.0 - build date 2016-03-02 17:19:22
setting: private mode is enabled

However, the filters provided on the Collection List and the Album List still provide a number of options no longer required, e.g.

1. All (except discarded) = all collections/albums visible to the user, except disarded collections
2. My (except discarded) = all collections/albums created by or shared with the user, except discarded collections
3. Only private = all collections/albums in the state "private", created by or shared with the user
4. Only published = all collections/albums in the state "released"
5. Only discarded = all collections/albums in the state "discarded", created by or shared with the user

Note: All explanations above have been copied from the current version of the Help file - which might be wrong as we are all aware ;)

The reason for not reducing the list of availabe filter criterias probably is that there still might be published/discarded collections/albums from the time previous to switching to the private modus. However, the selection will be very confusing to users in particular if the system never was public. In this case 1=2=3 and 4=5=empty.

What I would find helpful:

1. All = all collections/albums visible to the user
2. My = all collections/albums created by the user

Spec Proposal

The following filters should be provided for collection, album and item lists:

Filter 1 - Filters

Default: no filter applied (this option is not displayed in the dropdown menu)

• Collections/Albums/Items created by you = all collections/albums created by the current user
• Collections/Albums/Items shared with you = all collections/albums created by another user and shared with the current user
• Collections/Albums/Items created by you or shared with you = union of first two filters

Filter 2 - Status

Default: All (except discarded) = all collections/albums/items visible except discarded (means in state private or released) - (this option is not displayed in the dropdown menu)

• Only private = all collections/albums/items in the state "private"
• Only public = all collections/albums/items in the state "public"
• Only discarded = all collections/albums/items in the state "discarded"

Further specification

• Both filters are displayed in individual dropdown boxes and can be applied in arbitrary combinations (only one filter per dropdown)
• The filter menus should be placed next to the sorting menu
• When a filter is selected, the selected option is displayed on top of the list, where it can be removed and the filter name is emphasized in the dropdown menu (both is already implemented)
• When selecting a new filter, the old one is overwritten.
• For private mode, only Filter 1 is displayed.
• Filter is kept when going back to a list via history
• When changing to a new collection/album list, filters are reset to All/All = default ?
  ** Exception for discarded collections/albums: Discarded filter is automatically added when viewing item list of an discarded collection/album

We may want to double check the exact wording... e.g. is it really helpful to name the filter "Only published", if we (and the help file) refer to the status as "released"

QA- test see #584

Question: why is there no"created by others" so user can filter for "foreign" public collections?
