why does cat/container filter show no results in view?

I have been battling categories for weeks now and thought I would switch gears a bit and try views.

I think what I am trying is about the simplest example I could think of:

Images [container]
---- examples [category]
---- node 1 [category]
---- node 2 [category]

I added the above nodes and they all show up in my menu just fine.

I now try the 20 Steps to Views Happiness tutorial and basically do the following:

- add a view
- give it title, etc
- make a BLOCK view
- add a node:title field
- NO filters, NO args

- go to blocks and enable my new View Block

I now see my new block and sure enough the following titles appear:

• Images
• examples
• node 1
• node 2

BUT!!!

- go back to edit the view
- select to add filter: Tax – Vocab
- select All Of
- Images (my container) shows up in Value listing for the filter
- select Images
- SAVE

Now my block is empty

Seems pretty straight forward. Why does this not work.

Drupal 4.7.3 and version of CATs from about 2 wks ago and latest VIEWS module

Am i missing the point of filters. From reading a bunch of the postings it would seem that VIEWS and CATEGORIES are supposed to work together. Anyone have any ideas?

I think I will go back and remove categories and install original taxonomy module to see if this works – and if it does; I think getting pretty close to getting rid of categories.
