Filter in lighttable not working (discuss.tchncs.de)

I use Darktable 5.0.1. I don't know if this is a bug or just a user error on my part. But I can remember that it worked differently in 4.8.x.

When I am in the lighttable module, I can select “rejected only” in the filter. I would now expect to see all rejected images. However, the opposite is the case. I now see all images that have not been rejected. However, if I select “all except rejected”, I see the rejected images.

Why is the filter effect reversed?

I tested this and could not reproduce the problem, filtering by score = "rejected" works as in prior versions. I am able to see only rejected photos if I choose that. I use this as part of photo culling fairly often, to delete the photos I do not need.

In this version they expanded the light table filtering capabilities to make it more flexible (you can filter by many different metadata fields now and create filter expressions, I think) , so you may want to first click on "reset filters" and then rebuild your filter.

Many thx for the hint with to reset the filter. Indeed this worked. Now the selection works as expected.
