A fruit roll-up filter?

Paint Mix is also good for me...if you can change it...no problem!
Bye,

not mad, just that we've got 6000+ filters and many are labeled such that they are difficult to find when you want them.

now, david, i know you've already gotten my message here, so this is for everyone else:

if you name a filter 'noisy rock' and someone is looking for a rock filter, they 're likely to go to the 'stone' category and look under 'rock'. so, they wont see your filter. the right name would have been 'rock - noisy'. then, someone looking for 'rock' would see your filter.

so, this convention is both so that authors' filters will be seen and that users can find what they're looking for. pick the main thing that the filter is as the first part of your name, as in the example above; that filter is mainly a 'rock' filter, so that shld be the first part of the name. everything else is a sub-title or further description.

i really can appreciate the humor of some of the names and descriptions folks have used, but if you really want your filter seen and used, name it so folks can find it!

----Maybe you can expand on the above some, and put a wiki entry about how to most-likely get HU's

Names are less important than the tags. I have a bunch of strangely named filters, but I make an effort to tag them up as much as possible.

Hopefully the FF team will allow a filter search for downloaded libraries and the ability to add user folders so we won't have to worry about all this.
