Be able to share and download presets from the filters that you make ?

ALSO would be good if possible to share a group of presets, I mean, as before instead of selecting just one preset to share, it would be good to sel ect 4 or 5 and click also on "share preset" and all the 4 or 5 presets would be copied to the folder that you want.

This would be useful if you make interesting presets that could be useful to others using the same filter. For example:

There are lots of filters made by Ghislaine and Mardar that generate things and is not enough with the 20 preset limit, so if you have made some interesting with this filters that they have made, you could be able to share those with the other users.

Of course there are MANY (thousands) more filters that could benefit from this ability to share presets, as this is just an example.

BE ABLE TO UPLOAD PRESETS TO THE FILTER FORGE WEBSITE

Another possible idea is to have a new part in the Online filter library that could have inside each filter also some presets uploaded by other user, and they would be attached to the filter with a download link for those presets and so you could choose which one you want and like to download.

A very good idea, that should be fairly easy to implement.
After all, a preset is just an XML file that includes all the setings of all the controls for that preset. If there was a way to export a preset as a file, just like you can share a filter, it would be cool. Let's call it an FFPXML file (Filter Forge Preset XML). Then you could double click the FFPXML file and it would import the preset into the filter, just as double clicking FFXML files adds them to Filter Forge.

While probably possible, I imagine this would be tougher to implement as it would be necessary to change the library structure and\or create a new library, and have FF be able to comunicate with it, as with the filter submition wizard.
Also, it would mean a huge load on the FF servers, as all the presets would need to be rendered and saved as images, and while not everybody can make filters, anybody can create hundreds of presets.

Imagine having 8700+ presets to each of the 8700+ filters. That would be a mess.

Thanks for your comments lipebianc and Morgantao, and I too agree that this would be very good to have

And now there seem to be one more person also suggestion this too

I'm only two years late in this discussion, but I just bought FF 4.0 and am thinking it would be nice to save presets. I'm the kid that always got picked last in PE because I'm so uncoordinated. And it's no better with clicking on buttons today.

I've overwritten presets already. So, here it is two years later, and 4.0 was just released. We still need this ability to save our presets.

Maybe version 5...

+1 EAdams nailed it.

Uhh in regard to the point and purpose of this... it seems all about being resourceful. I don't see "why not" nor do I really care.
