magico 2001-09-03 09:42 reporter ~0001300	This feature is very important. Hi hope you could apply some time to it, please :)

dan 2002-01-28 02:07 reporter ~0001897	In version 0.17.0 the "NOT" feature is not included. As it's important to me (adn to some others, i hope ;-). Can you briefly tell me which sources are concerned so that I can deliver a patch. Best Regards.

Two ways to do this come to mind: The severity levels already imply an order so just add an option to show bugs that are either >= or <= the selected severity. The problem with this is that severity levels like 'feature' and 'text' doesn't really fit within an order. 'feature' could be made severity level 0 and in my option 'text' is misplaced and should be removed (a documentation bug is a bug like any other and should have a normal severity level). Add some way to combine severity levels with AND and OR. The problem with this is a much more complex UI. Personally I like the first option better.

grangeway 2004-08-27 12:50 reporter ~0007239	Hi guys, Does the filter functionality in the 0.19 builds handle this functionality for you? atm, I think it does if you go to filter and then 'advanced filter', you can select specific categories to filter or not filter on. I'm closing this bug for now - Please provide any further feedback based on the 0.19 version. Thanks
