Tag Sorting

so i been using filter forge awhile now but the thing that constantly bothers me is that i have to sort filters myself to optimize my own workflow

the current way of textures and effects is all over the place and sure i can use search but say i want sharpening not all sharpen effects wil be found as it would be under a different name

this makes the program a bit annoying to use even while it can have neat results

so my request would be more management features for filters

thank you

yeah that what i been doing but it takes ages to fully setup

it is how the cookie crumbles with filters being made by users they aren't always consistent examples are differences between lightness, brightness and gamma which gets mistaken alot and words that mean the same thing spread across filters and there are filters in the misplaced category aswel with not the correct tags so you cant find them in search either

what i plan to do is going to take a long time aswel and that is update every filter for speed so that means components, turning off anti-aliasing and following a rulebook for controls of the filter being consistent

also in settings it could be handy to just have a setting that turns off anti-aliasing and to always start filter forge in reduced preview size

with anti-aliasing some filters take way to long to render compared to having no anti-aliasing and in my opinion anti-aliasing should be a after thought

sidenote :
would i be allowed to share filters i updated with the changes i mentioned on the forum or is not that a good idea due to you guys also selling the filter packs with every filter im currently updating the default filters that come preinstalled with filter forge 12 if its a no ill keep it to myself

but if there is another way to sort out filter forge that would help the initial problem of opening filter forge with maybe alot of those filters then spending like a hour to find 1 filter that actually does what you want then opening it again for maybe another effect and this stays the same as long as you dont sort stuff yourself which takes time which not everybody is willing to spend
