--- Comment #2 from Phil Ringnalda <[email protected]> ---
Should we have a "Skip lost" checkbox, or should we have a "Not lost" checkbox
in the filters section, like we have a "For loan" checkbox in the notforloan
filters? Or should we have both, and if we do how will they interact?

I can easily picture a library using inventory as their "look for missing
things" report, so they would want to include "Not lost" and "Missing" to have
their report of the things that didn't get scanned include Missing, but not
include Lost and paid for.

I have a harder time coming up with a reason why someone would ever want to
include Withdrawn, but since it doesn't have a Not withdrawn checkbox, there's
also currently no way to exclude them.

And I have a hard time justifying why Damaged is there at all. It has no
behavior, so whether or not a thing is items.damaged, if it's not supposed to
be on the shelf it has to have something else, notforloan or lost or withdrawn,
to say so, doesn't it? Otherwise your things with damaged set to "In repair"
would still show up in your holds queue with no sign that they were in repair,
and nothing to stop you marking them missing when you didn't find them on the
shelf.

Left to my own UI devices (never a good thing, I love complicated UI with
hidden things), I'd say we should have checked by default and listed first "For
loan" and "Not lost" and "Not withdrawn" and "Not damaged" with all the other
damaged values also checked by default, and none of the other notforloan or
lost or withdrawn values checked by default. I'm fighting the temptation to say
that we should also have twisties to reveal the other hidden checkboxes, so
most people don't even have to see and think about whether or not they want to
include "Lost and paid for." But that would introduce the complication of
having "Not withdrawn" and then "Any or no damaged".
