I've been using the flag for my daily check list as well and I agree that the filtering options stink. The filter bar is a cute idea but this issue highlights it's real weakness as compared to a smart folder type solution, namely multiple criteria. Perhaps if they put a little "+" button at the end which you could click to add multiple levels of filtering then maybe that would solve it so that you could say filter by available AND then by flagged or any other set of complex criteria you choose. But then it would become even more of a hassle to keep recreating the filtering system you need for a particular view. Perspectives may sort this out but they're nowhere near there yet. It seems like the developers are jumping through quite a few hoops to come up with an alternate metaphor for the well developed smart folder concept which many people are already using effectively in other programs. I wonder why that is.
