Alright, my completely biased opinions are:

1) Yes/No/Null; the default starting state is null. I'll accept setting this field as a dual or triple value state via tweak file. As for the settings, I'll use Guyanonymous' listing, which I completely agree with:

col:false -> returns columns with no entry at all
col:true -> returns columns with any type of entry (yes or no)
col:no -> returns columns with no only
col:yes ->returns columns with yes only


2) I'm assuming you meant that unchecking a text/multiple or text/single column would hide the related entries in the tag browser. (Disappear had me thinking deleted for a bit.)

I don't think they should be hidden. This might be covered by #3, Restricted Views, but what if I need a subset of my data but do not need to actually see the value? For instance, all books by Doubleday? Viewing the Publisher column in this situation is not going to provide any more information about the books shown.

Anyone who does not want the related material shown can simply ignore those entries.


3) Is their some kind of naming to restricted views? Without a name, "275 of all" is going to be inadequate. Particularly if a user has more than one library, let alone reader device. Without names something like "275 of all (3000)" might be slightly more acceptable. At least the number of entries is one possible way to determine if you're looking at the correct library.
