I finally upgraded to Filter Forge 12 from 7 so I can use it on Photoshop 2023. I would like to move the filters from my C:drive to another location with more space. How do I do it in a way Filter Forge still finds the filters?

Thanks,

Andres

windows?
In order to save space and extend the lifespan of my SSD, I have made the following changes (win 10/11)

>'Temp' on an external device (Advanced system settings ->Environment Variables) in my case an SDXC card.
>PS Scratch Disk on another disk/device (PS creates HUGE temp files, dozens of GB)

I have not changed the Roaming folder where the FF files are located, but it's possible.
>Select Roaming folder -> Properties -> Location

You can create a custom storage folder on a different drive and move your filters to that custom storage. Note this will stop sending your usage stats to our server.

In general, leil08 gave a solid advice above. You should consider moving your entire user profile or your Roaming folder.

So I created a folder in another drive, right click on custom filters and selected add storage folder and pointed to the new folder. I got the filters to work but the structure is messed up. I don't have categories like before, I only get the filters by typing a name like concrete etc.
I copied all of the Filter Forge 7 folders into the new one. Just the filters gave me the same problem. Here are the screen shoots.
