Radio buttons with comparison operators can be confusing, please consider dropdowns

Several options that check a numeric or date range in the input predicate dialog use a radio button to select a comparison operator:

• less than
• ≈ (approximate?)
• equals
• greater than

The choices are very small and it's quite easy to confuse which one belongs to which radio button. (I mix these up almost every day)

Please consider using a dropdown list here, similar to iTunes Smart Playlists: https://support.apple.com/guide/itunes/create-delete-and-use-smart-playlists-itns3001/windows

A dropdown would allow things to look something like this, removing the ambiguity:

• greater than
• equals =
• ≈ (approximate, "near" or something)
• less than

Or for dates:

• before
• after
• is
• ≈ ("around"? I'm not sure what this actually does in Hydrus)

Something similar might be helpful for other places that use a horizontal line of radio buttons, such as the ratings input predicates.

Start by locating the input predicate dialog and other horizontal radio-button groups, including the ratings input predicates. Review how numeric and date comparison operators are represented, especially the approximate option, before deciding the dropdown labels. Done means the relevant controls no longer make operators easy to confuse and their existing predicate behavior remains clear.
