Getting filters from V2 to V3?

Well you do not have to download again all the filters you have because it is possible to copy all the filters from V2 to V3.

Please, see these threads

Where are the downloaded Filter Forge filters located physically?

Moving Filters From 1 Computer to Another

If you find the %APPDATA% intimidating, there is even a much easier way to find the filters of filter forge without doing this

The easiest way is to open Filter Forge, go to the fiter menu at the left, and then sel ect a filter in the filter list and press Ctrl+L.

After pressing Ctrl + L a new window will open showing you ALL the filters you have, and then you can sel ect all and copy them all fr om the Filter Forge 2\System\Library to the Filter Forge 3\System\Library (both folders are in the same place)

This does NOT include the "my filters" folder or any of the "my presets" you may have, and this must be done in the way shown above in the links to make a copy of these to FF 3.0, although it could be also easy if you are already in Filter Forge 2\System\Library because the only step you need is to go back fr om Filter Forge 2\system to the root folder and find Filter Forge\My Filters and My presets

OK ... filters are in, although it crashed several times on "bad" filters. Deleting them from the Library solved that problem.

C:\Documents and Settings\myaccountname\Application Data\Filter Forge 3\System\Library

Now - how to get them to show up? I have several hundred filters in the library and only about 10% of them are showing up in the list.

I tried downloading a new filter, as recommended to another user, but that didn't work.

Is it significant that some have names and some have "Library" and a number?

Please delete library.xml and librarystructue.xml and then download a new filter from the online library.
