P: Filter settings not holding when importing or exporting to a catalog

It would be helpful if the filter settings set for a folder are maintained while importing and exporting to a catalog. I regularly batch export files to create HDR versions of an image. While doing this, I'll attempt to work in another folder while Lightroom Classic supposedly works in the background. When setting filters in the newer folder I'm now working on (while LR is exporting in the background) these filter settings do not hold. LR removes the filter settings every time it imports a new file from the background export. Please update LR to keep filter settings so I can be more productive.
