I honestly think Flexicontent is already quite difficult to configure... But that's not a real problem, it's a really fantastic and powerful tool and some knowledge is obviously required. [My experience told me that sometimes I need to open the code to understand what some params are supposed to do]

My opinion is:
- for multicategories views, module or component, my expectation is to have by default a "AND" logic behind it. If I choose 3 categories I hope to have items with ALL the 3 categories, not just one of them.
Maybe it's me... but I think an option about it's really needed.

- same exact thing is about merging the dynamic and static categories. "require all of them? yes/no"?

Basically it's all about adding a button with "require all the categories" in every case you can choose more than one category to view items.
I won't consider strange cases or more complex cases because I agree it would be a real nightmare to "explain" and make usable the component.

Pay attenttion that actually Flexicontent is the only, or at lest the best, component to have a very good management about multicategories and I think this can be a real improvement.

thanks for your question and consideration
