Using different filters for Main Dictionary and Reversal Dictionary

[Catharina Williams van Klinken]

I am trying to publish a bilingual dictionary with reversal finderlist. I've set all entries for the Vernacular-English dictionary to "Publish Entry in Main Dictionary", and all those for the English-Vernacular as "Publish Entry in Reversals". (The difference is that variants should not end up in the finderlist, and I have managed to create entries that sort-of-work for English words like 'the' that don't exist in the vernacular but should be included in the finderlist.) It's not working, as whatever filter or "Publish entry in"  I use for Tetun-English also gets applies to English-Tetun. What is the solution? I'll be grateful for your advice.

The "Publish in" filters do apply to both Main Dictionary and to Reversals.

Normally the "Publications" would be for things like, "Webonary", "student dictionary", "academic dictionary".  The assumption is that any of these publications might want to include both the main dictionary and a reversal index, and the filter just controls which entries get included, along with their links from main to reversal.

One option is to set up two different publications, and then do two exports.  Both exports would export both the main dictionary and the reversal, but you would choose the main dictionary from one export and the reversal from the other export.

This assumes that you are exporting on your computer and then will do something to publish those output files, either as PDF, or through Word/OpenOffice, or some other means.  

If this is for uploading to Webonary, you can only set one Publication for the upload, and it will apply to both.  There might be a way to manually adjust something, or we may be able to come up with other ideas.
