[resolved] Need some help building a Visual Filter
I would like a visual filter in my ESV bible that highlights all the anthropomorphisms for God. This will be based on The Topical Analysis of the Bible section on this topic, as found here
logosres:tab;art=r1.I.E.
Is there a clever way to build this without having to use each of the terms in a search and then building the filter one line at a time?

For a little background, here's how I've been working on it.
First, I click on one of the references in the TAB resource. For example, I click on the 1 Sam reference to get to a passage on God's 'ears'.
Once I get there, I right-click and choose Sense and search my ESV.
Once the search completes, I choose Save as Visual Filter.
Then I copy the correct tag from the VF and paste it into my master VF.
...gets moved to this filter file...
Problem one- This is slow.
Problem two- some of the anthropomorphisms are hard to get a 'sense' of in the English bible (and I don't read Hebrew). For example, #4 is 'bodily form'. That doesn't pull from the text (I get the verb 'appeared'.) #5 is 'breath', and I get 'wind' when I run the VF on the English. That gets all the instances of breath, but also gets Spirit and wind.
See the problem?

And one can only improve accuracy e.g. <Sense = to appear (in sight)> AFTER 2 WORDS <Person God> for "Bodily Form"
Which now provides 2 words for the VF

Unfortunately, Logos crashed in Dan 7:9 ("Ancient") and stopped my roll[:D]
And now it has crashed in Amos 9:1 ("Standing"). This "Bodily form" is lethal[:(]

Now I'm nervous. Will stop building the filter until this is figured out.

The crash was caused by a corrupt file on Dave's system: https://community.logos.com/forums/p/105322/728944.aspx#728944

That's nice to know. Back to work.
How about giving us the ability to create a Visual Filter from a Passage List? That would make my life much easier right now.

I'll settle for #1 at this point. If I got that, I could edit the individual highlighted verses to focus on key words as needed.

I think the intention was to reply in that forum to ensure your choice is recorded in the context of the question.
