Feature Request: Let getResources prefilter processed resources

[pepebe]

I think it would be a good idea to use getResources to filter the list of resources processed by archivist. This adds &tvFilters to the available options.

Example: Only display Posts belonging to the "Musings" category.

&tvFilers=`Category==Musings`

I have a functional proof of concept in my gists: https://gist.github.com/pepebe/991362dc0ff355b5ef69

If this concept is worth adding to the archivist package, I can do a pull request.

Regards,

One question would be, should it use getResources only if it is installed, or include getResources as a subpackage?—

getResources is already a prerequisite for one of the sniipets included. I believe that tools like archivist should focus on the things they are supposed to do. archivist is fine with a list of ids provided by whatever tool one wants to use. How you get this list should not be important.

BTW: One thing that would be extremly useful would be the ability to work with dateTVs. This would give the opportunity to use archivist for event management with posts in the future.

Right now I (ab)use createdon to do this (i copy the content of a tv to this field on ondocformsave.
