we've asked for a number of different things to do with presets, but i dont recall this one being asked for before. i'd like the presets to be numbered within the thumbnails, something small in a corner, perhaps, and with the option to change a preset's number's color in case of conflict with the thumbnail itself. this would just be something that just shows up in the preset thumbnail and nowhere else.

the reason for this request is that some of my older, more used filters, are accumulating a large number of presets and when i save an image using one of them i'd like to reference the preset number in the saved image name so that i can find that same preset easily later on by simply looking at the saved image file name. now, i'm not talking about a couple dozen presets here; i'm talking a couple hundred on some filters and it gets to be a pain trying to find that same preset again. i know, you didnt make the filter that ends up using hundreds of presets and i know vladimir's preachings about keeping things simple and compact and of a singlular effect and for the most part i try to do that any more, but, old habits die hard and old filters just keep growing, so, please, i beseach the FF Gods on bended knee!

and here's one possible idea of how the implementation might look or work. instead of actually printing a preset number onto the thumb, perhaps the boxes themselves could be numbered with an option to turn the numbering off, if desired. just a thought smile:)

That's actually a very good idea and you don't have to have hundreds of presets for it to be a nuisance, from a work flow perspective pretty helpful smile;) smile:)

Good request and comments made in 2008 (4 years ago) but still waiting for it to appear probably sometime in the future
