It would be great with an option in the filter editor to update all used components to latest version.

I think it is possible to write an external script to do this fairly easily... I'm gonna see if I can make one.

in the code a new blend node looks like this:

Quote
<Blend5 id="blend5 01"> <Mode value="0"/> <Foreground red="1" green="1" blue="1" alpha="1"/> <Background red="0" green="0" blue="0" alpha="1"/> <Opacity value="0.5"/> </Blend5>

An old blend node looks like this

Quote
<Blend id="blend 01"> <Mode value="6"/> <Foreground red="1" green="1" blue="1" alpha="1"/> <Background red="0" green="0" blue="0" alpha="1"/> <Opacity value="1"/> </Blend>

SO... for blend nodes it would be

search and replace '<Blend id="blend' with '<Blend5 id="blend'
and search and replace '</Blend>' with '</Blend5>'

There is a bit more to it but it should not be too hard

Yeah Jim, I ended up doing something like that. But it would definitely be more user friendly with a build in feature.

I did that with my Stairways to heaven filter which I happened to start in FF2. There are a a bunch of items to change, plus the obvious version info, and remove the AO settings, but it is doable, I know smile:)

Technically, it will be possible in future versions -- some of the code we're doing for v2.0 can be adapted for this functionality. It will work even if the old and new components have different sets of inputs (some renamed, some added, some deleted). We don't plan this for v2.0 though -- too much to do, too little time.

YEs, Please, if you have a web app for this task will be very interesting to have it available and hope that you can transfer it to another server.

Thanks
