you can now change the order of the controls in the GUI. you do this in the editor, not in the GUI. i forget the actual menu item where it's found, but it's in there! very cool!

In the editor it can be found under Filter/Order of Controls... With the dots repesenting that it has a dialog that pops up. I think.

Any chance that in V3 the 'Custom' 'Order of Controls' will not be reset every time there is new connection / component added?

The custom order of controls is not reset when you just add a new component or control to the existing component tree.
It does get reset when you disconnect a subtree from the Result component — but this is a feature rather than a bug (no controls in the Result tree = default order of controls). You can press Ctrl+Z to undo the disconnection and get your OoC back. Our recommendation is to set the custom OoC at the final stage after the filter is complete. |

Updating filters is mostly about adding new features, which leads to adding new controls, which often is adding a switch halfway to handle a selection of different image data flow steams, which means breaking the flow to insert the switch, which leads to a totally wacky control order.

Guru filter makers can open the ffxml file in a text editor, copy the customized <ControlsOrder> section and then paste it into an updated filter

 Never thought of that (I have modified a V2 filter to work in V1 by modding the XML though). Good point.
But, then it would be easy to have a "Restore old controlorder" feature, you just have to snap that when a filter goes to edit, and the replace it back again when it goes out of edit, adding any new controls below. - I never expected the Spanish inquisition |

Thanks Totte, GMM, I'm glad this wasn't my misunderstanding. Editing the ffxml, right, a good intermediate way.
BTW, kudos Totte for FFBatchMaster 2. Massive!:  _____________________________________________________
