Retrieve Custom View based on Tags

Post by Sleen »

If I understand correctly, the right-most icon on the Tag Search panel is meant to allow the user to retrieve a set of previously stored tags. I believe I saved the view correctly, but I don't know how to retrieve it.
Clicking the right-most icon on the Tag Search panel gives me two options: Save, and Cancel.
How do I retrieve a saved tag configuration?

I'm using MT 10.0 Pro. on a Windows 10 machine.

If I remember rightly, you should have a Tag Search panel as well as a Tag Panel.

Correct. The Tag Search panel is the one I'm referring to. I often select 10+ tags for a particular project, and I'd like to ensure that I'm selecting the same set of tags the next time I need to do...whatever. The right-most icon on the Tag Search panel allows me to "save" the tag configuration, however there does not seem to be a way to RETRIEVE those tags, even though the name I chose to save it with does appear in the dialog box. My options in the dialog box are just these two: Save, and Cancel. There is no way to retrieve the saved tag configuration.

In MainType 11, the right-most icon allows me to save a Custom View. To see the fonts with those tags, I need to select the custom view.

Thank you!
My saved configuration shows up as a new item on the "View" menu. Excellent!
