QoL: Separate "Hide Completed Recipes" from "Display Only Recordable Recipes"

Hi all, first time posting here.

I've been slowly grinding away at crafting every single recordable item in the game over the last 2-ish years. Before Dawntrail, it was very simple to track, as I could use the "Hide Completed Recipes" filter to remove the completed recipes of recipes that were recordable. Very straightforward.

However, with the Dawntrail update, they put the Hide Completed as a child to a new option - "Display Only Recordable Recipes". This seems fine on paper, but the absolutely obnoxious thing in my eyes is I now have to choose whether I want to look at what I need to complete OR things like master recipes, allied society recipes, skysteel recipes, dyes, etc.

If they simply separated Hide Completed Recipes from Display Only Recordables, I could still have access to everything but still have an easy way of tracking my progress.

Filtering my crafting recipes - good

Filtering allied society recipes that are available daily - not good.

The biggest problem with the recipe checklist is that it marks crafted recipes instead of marking new recipes. Best UI/UX practice is to mark the recipes you've never crafted before. This makes it so much easier to find uncrafted recipes this way because it's easier to find the few New Recipe marks in a list of mostly no marks than it is to find an unmarked recipe in a list full of marks. It also removes the question of whether recipes in a list are unmarked because you've never crafted them or because they are just not recipes that get tracked.

I disagree, I think having a whole page full of "* New" would be a real eyesore in comparison to how it is now.

Then craft them so they're no longer marked new.

You may not like it but it is demonstrably much faster to locate new recipes when they're marked and completed recipes are not, and much slower to locate new recipes when they are unmarked in a list full of marked complete recipes.
