First of all, I love the filter widget, especially being able to place it where I want.
I understand that filters are not category selectors (Dashboard) but they have drawbacks in relation to these that I don't know if they could be added or if, being a different concept, a category selector widget would be necessary.
- When filters are applied, the rest of the options disappear. I think that this misleads some users, especially if you have configured it as buttons because they disappear.

- If you use buttons, the "All" option becomes compulsory. I understand that it will almost always be necessary, but also that it is redundant with "reset" and adds one more button.
- Maybe it is related to the previous point, but if you want to predefine their categories you lose the possibility to use buttons.

Thank you.

For your first case, I think the scenario varies depending on whether you'd like to make the current list affected by others, which should be as expected (otherwise it would look like a bug):

For the last two points, yes - it would be a valid ENH, to support the Pill selector for predefined values.

 

Thanks for the feedback.

Thank you very much for the speed of your response (for this post and all the others!). I'll try to do the same (almost).

First case. That behaviour is what I thought it might be expected but it doesn't work, that's why I thought in category selectors.

Thanks again.

I would also like to be able to configure the filter widget so look och and work like a category selector in dashboard, specially with the presentation mode: inline and selection: Single.
To be able to toggle between different filters one at a time

Like @MattiasEkstrom I would also like to have a CATEGORY SELECTOR widget in EB.
