DW subscription filters display

I have my Dreamwidth reading list broken up into a few different subscription filters, as I find that easier than having everyone's posts all together on the same page. If one of the filters has a bunch of posts, I can catch up with the other filters and come back to the long one later.

But I just noticed that I missed adding one person in my Circle to any of my filters, so I had been missing their posts. (Probably because originally they were still posting to LJ too, and I was reading them over there. But then they stopped posting to LJ.)

Unfortunately, I can't find a single DW page which lists everyone in my Circle, along with which filters (if any) they are in. I don't suppose there's a page like that somewhere? The above page only lists who is and is not in each filter. So it takes a lot of clicking back and forth to figure out if there is anyone who is not in any filter.

Just a shot in the dark (I don't have access filters, which is why my access list is currently quite small): have you tried this? https://www.dreamwidth.org/manage/circle/editfilters

I'm actually assuming you have, but just to cover all bases I thought I'd ask, since there might be no way to do this (at least, that I know of), otherwise.

(edit) I think I get what you're asking/thought we had, too, and the logical place to put that would be on the Manage Circle page, which could also have a checkmark column for if each person is in a filter and in the next column, simply list what if any filter they're in...I think that's what you thought or hoped we had (correct me If I'm wrong), but I'm thinking we don't.

I'd love to have that functionality.

I'd say "let's flip a coin" to see which of us three will make the official suggestion but since I know you and darkoshi are pretty busy... *starts mentally composing this idea to submit it* (edit) the queue's probably pretty backed up, though, which I know because I'm in it at least twice or thrice without any rejection letters going back at least a month or two, so it could take a while to get accepted into queue/voted on....

OK, if you're awake/not busy give me about 10 minutes...I made a mock-up I'm about to post to access-lock on my DW and would like you and darkoshi to tell me if that's what you're thinking...I just need to upload the mock-up first.

I posted the mockup to my DW, so whenever you and darkoshi get a chance if you can see if that looks about right...thanks!
