- Partial match listing -

You can use two partial match listing modes by enabling them in the options screen. When using these modes, list of matching records will be automatically updated as you type in a search pattern. This may lead to slowdowns depending on your system speed, size of database and the pattern.
o No - you need to hit Enter or List button to apply filters in any box.
o All - all filter boxes will do on-the-fly filtering.
o Right - only the rightmost filter box will use this mode, the other three will work in a standard way.

- One item columns -

In 0.4.11 Tobu was changed to show only the columns with tags that match two or more items - the ones that match just one item will not be shown because they're relatively useless since they don't allow you to see a set of items by sorting the column - and add too much clutter when many items are listed.

- Views -

"Views" is a feature that allows you to save a number of filters under a single name letting you perform combined filtering quicker. It produces the same result as entering the same filters in filter boxes and pressing 'list' - in other words, it's just a shortcut. Under view menu, you can save, delete and apply views. For instance, if you filter for diary entries made during last month often, you can enter the filter 'diary', then 'mar' for the current month, then go to views | save and enter 'march diary'. When you go to views again and choose 'march diary', you will see the list of your items.
