How do I move my old filter already uploaded to Filter Forge 2 Universal? Because it seems when I upgraded I lost some filter that were in the earlier version.

You want to move v1 filters into v2?
Just take the filter file and move it to the FF2 'My Filters' folder.
Or, if you've submitted the filter to the library you can download it again and it should open in v2 (if not, open v2 before downloading).

Default file locations:
C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Roaming\Filter Forge
C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Roaming\Filter Forge 2

Thank You, in the old one it's called Library and in 2.0 it's My Filters. When checking for new filters have you come up with any way as you go thru them to know what you have already downloaded. I realize the color of the name(link) will change from blue to red but they you can't tell if you just opened one up to look at it and then decided not to download?

There's still a Library folder in v2...
I'm pretty sure you could move them there from the v1 Library folder.

C:\Program Files\Filter Forge\Resources\System\Library
C:\Program Files\Filter Forge 2\Resources\System\Library

I don't have an answer for your other question though, sorry.

When i did this with the first beta it worked fine on my online computer (XP) but on my offline computer (Vista) though only the default library shows so it only seems to work if you later update online or something but i might be wrong.

To put it nicely the update to V2 did not go smoothly for me as i was expecting to just install over the last and run everything right away but that didn't happen as the program would not even load at first etc.
