I’m annoyed by the filter menu on the Mac as well. But “deselect all” won’t work so simple: Then you have to click for, e. g. “one star” and “accepted” and “untagged” if you want to see all one-star pictures which are not rejected…
If the filter menu just could stay open so that I do not have to click twice for every change but click once to open the dialog, select/unselect all options as I need and click another time to close.
Furthermore the filter dialog on a Mac is at the bottom of the screen, so in addition to clicking I often have to scroll. Turning it into a dialog box would fix both annoyances.
Later on the dialog box could be enhanced with user defined presets for the filter settings to accommodate any workflow.
