1. An automatically populated 'Recent Filters' list, in the same section of the interface as 'Favourites' and 'Search'.


2. Undo & Redo would be really nice to have in the 'Image Creation' side of FilterForge (Undo/Redo works in the Filter Editor only). There have been heaps of occasions when I've been twiddling parameters and wanted to go back a few steps...



3. Automatic Background Render Queue
I've been generating a lot of 8000x8000 images with some slow filters and lots of antialiasing; these take awhile (hours).
Currently when I press 'Save Image As' in Stand-alone mode, FilterForge can't be used again until the image is finished.

What I think would be really neat is this:

When you press 'Save Image As' and have selected the filename/type/etc, the render is placed into a background queue, and FilterForge's GUI returns to normal, allowing you to adjust parameters, change filters, load a different image, etc, and then when you press 'Save Image As', it too gets placed into the background queue.

The only change required to the GUI is the addition of the Render Queue List - it would work like your typical Download Queue window, providing options for pausing/deleting/re-ordering the queued renders.

4. Display an esitimated Render Completion Time

I was just thinking about this! There's been a lot of times that I've applied a filter and several other filters later I forgot what filter I used to get a certain effect. Also wish there was a way to get like the last used effect of a certain filter if one forgot to save a preset. I've been trying to remember to save a preset before I apply it so at least I'll have a record of it, assuming I can find that filter again.

Yeah, that too!

Each 'Recent Filter' could have a list of 'recent presets,' -- saving an image could automatically save a preset to this list.
Limit the recent presents to some maximum number of entries/minimum number of days, that'd be great.

Another thing that would be really useful for User Presets is the ability to name them. I'm a visual person, but sometimes I need words to remind me where I used a filter before, or what exactly it is. Giving them a name or date or some word cue would help me. For example, I've been using Sjeiti's absolutely incredible "Sunflower" filter, and making various flowers...daisies, dahlias, phlox, gazanias, etc. etc. Sometimes it's hard to tell by a little half inch square image on the screen just what it is.
