Improve generic range filters
As with the star filters, the generic range filters have some readability issues (arguably more so) when pinned to the top bar. For example, I managed to pin the following filters (capture date, aperture, focal length) to the top bar. This is what it looks like:
The only way to read these filters is by hovering over and waiting for the tooltip to appear (though readability is better in the collection filters module).
I agree that these filters make selecting things easier but they are virtually impossible to read so IMO they still only do half a job. I'm also not convinced that the histogram-like display is particularly useful without some axis labels (which obviously would make the widgets too high/complex). I kind of have similar feelings about the timeline view in the lighttable, but at least that has year indicators along the x axis.

These filters still need improvement
there is a good reason when dealing with dates everyone uses a calendar ... those other two should be drop downs you need to see the actual values, are we to remember some QR patterns instead of it saying 50mm or F1.8 ? this is crazy
Maybe we should highlight and label the the most commonly used value.
This way it would be clear which pattern shows which criteria:
If the drop-down-icon is used to open the list of values, then right-click could be used to change the graphical interface to a text-field entry:
focal length: >=50
Good that you're thinking of stuff, but IMO that's not any better, and potentially misleading if you're only showing a single value.
that's true, so what about showing the selected range:
