How to handle multiple collections and separation of collections

[Thomas Damgaard]

Hi,


I have been using DK both privately and professionally for multiple 
years. And boy do I love this software.

In DK I have multiple collections:

 1. Private: Private photos from vacations, birthday parties, etc.
 2. Pro: Professional photos from various photo shoots, etc.
 3. Design: Professional images, including various design work such as
    logos, web assets, etc.
 4. Art: Drawings, sketches, etc.


Now, each of these are separate collections that are all added to DK in 
Settings.

My issue is that I find it difficult to actually separate these when 
using DK.

So for example, the other day I was talking to a client and trying to 
find a few photos from  from a photoshoot that I new roughly when I did 
but I could not easily find it using the Albums view. So I went to 
Timeline and clicked the year and quickly ran through it. What I didn't 
consider what that now, we were suddenly browsing through a strange mix 
of all three collections. So, while I found the photo session I was 
looking for, it felt a bit awkward that I had to browse through some 
random family member's wedding photos to get there.


I am missing some easy way to actually separate collections in DK. What 
thoughts went into this use case?

Is there some place I haven't found in which I can easily switch on/off 
individual collections globally? Like some sort of global collection 
filter?
