It did and HOW!! I now can work without getting frustrated
That said i forgot to ask in case you know.
As i wrote further up, i don`t get the logic behind one thing.
When searching i can choose Tags in order to hone in something i am looking for. Like choosing Tags "Vst3“ + „ Compressor“ + „Developer X“ - etc etc
However if i want to see only Vst3+Vst2 and exclude the Au , in my logic i mark both Vst3+2. However when using more than a single tag in each category and everything disappears. Even if you try to choose 2 different Devs all plugins disappear.
Why is that? It makes zero sense to me tbh
This is because the tags use AND logic... meaning when you combine tags together, it's looking for individual items which have both of those tags.
A plug-in can only be VST2 or VST3 (or AU), it can't be both at the same time.
Ie. you're filtering for something which is VST2 AND VST3, which will show no results.
If the tags used OR logic instead, then it would show anything tagged VST2 OR VST3, in which case you'd get the results you are looking for.
But unfortunately, it's not easily possible to set the tags to use OR logic.

Oh…I see. This is coder logic land
Above my paygrade. I am more like „ I see a Tag, i click!“
Ok then it is what it is.
I will keep on praying for more color collection amount and until then will practice more with the tagging system
Thank you a lot for the insight
