make filters more fluid

a 'focus request' to improve filters UI & UX. filters are great! they can & should be improved in use, though!

– there is a cluster of requests around this.

and I think priority could / should be:

• less clicks;

• savable (maybe even: persistent) filters in the filter view (depending on object type?!);

• more instant feedback when filters are picked…

• 'group by' + some more refinements in criteria included (also in terms of UI integration)

I know, it kind of also drifts into the query question… and I think that separation should be revisited, which also harks back to older discussions on this (need for simplification in UI / UX level)

… it´s all not 'critical per se'. but it adds up to an experience of being chewy and pedestrian this way – while it really is one of the strong aspects of Capacities… 🌻

btw: I think there are still a lot of requests in the system re. better overall integration of 'fixed sets' (where tags = properties; and vice versa); and actually I think this has already been silently served in recent updates… so maybe the ticketbase here can be cleaned a little?! 😀
