Top 3 Features Wanted!!!
Author: StevieJ. I like all of those as well....and you will probably get them before any of the simple no-brainer "BETA" ones... Having no control locks in randomization (#2) is sucking my will to live...and is just plain ridiculous that they are not there...totally killing efficient and effective use of randomization... This is supposed to be a premiere plugin for Photoshop, right??? :|
Randomize Options
Author: Kraellin. at the bottom of the browser there is a section for randomizing the control settings. there is a button there called 'next variant' and to the right of that is a small box that allow options on what gets randomized. these options are somewhat general in nature.
i'd like a little 'lock' that i can toggle on and off on each control in the browser to allow or disallow this control to be randomized when i hit the 'next variant' button. there are just sometimes that i dont want a certain slider/control randomized when i hit the 'next ...
Lighting Control
....
2) Ability to set lighting control parameters for each lighting scheme.
3) Option to include lighting controls with primary filter controls.
4) Lockable filter controls.....little check boxes to the right or left of controls to toggle a lock on control values on and off for use in randomization."
RandomizerLock

btw: randomizerlocks seem to be a high priority thing; seems like it gets suggested every couple of months or so.
Lighting Control
Author: StevieJ. LOL..... Well, as i've stated so much in the past, I think it would be pretty slick to have lockable controls.....especially on filters with alot of controls.....then you could just keep locking them and hitting the randomizer to zero in on what you want. As it stands, the randomizer is the last thing you want to touch when narrowing down control values.....and lockable controls would change all of that. Also, it would be an indispensable tool for troubleshooting ...
Control Locks in V4???
... Golovin. Regarding the per-control randomization permalocks on the filter author side, as suggested by Crapadilla above, my current position is weakly agaisnt.
I think it would be enough to allow the filter author to specify the default state for the locks, which would serve as a "suggestion" for filter users on what controls shouldn't be randomized. Hovever, the users remain in control and can unlock everything and anything they want.
BTW, we already have one permanently unrandomizable control on the Settings tab, the Seamless Tiling checkbox.
Lighting Control
... randomization.
3) Ability to set lighting control parameters for each lighting scheme.
4) Option to include lighting controls with primary filter controls.
5) Lockable filter controls.....little check boxes to the right or left of controls to toggle locks on control values in randomization."
*cough* CONTROL LOCKS!!! *uncough*
... obviously much-needed feature as justification for the release of Filter Forge V8...."
NO, please, NO, it can´t be reserved for V8, this was a great problem with my spirograph break out filter and needs to be done in FF 4.0!!! please, please. Randomization control locks !!!!!
CONTROL LOCKS!!!
Author: StevieJ. Don't get me wrong...I appreciate all the enhancements...but with the high number of controls on most filters, control locks are essential to effectively using randomization to pin-point desired results...as well as troubleshoot problems in filter construction... This should be an easy one to implement...can't understand why this wasn't done from the start...and is still being ignored??? :?:
Control Locks in V4???
Author: Vladimir Golovin. Betis, the current interface can stomach maybe a single three-position randomization strength toggle ('Low' / 'Medium' / 'High'), but that's about it. The rest of the commands (i.e. Lock All, Unlock All etc.) are actions, which would require buttons, which in turn would lead to UI clutter. Anything with more than three buttons is a headache, and we already have two ('Back' and 'Next Variant').
"Randomizable" option on all controls
Author: CorvusCroax. Sort of like this?

btw: randomizerlocks seem to be a high priority thing; seems like it gets suggested every few months or so. It's a Planned - Low Priority item, according to the Wishlist (http://www.filterforge.com/wiki/index.php/Feature_Wishlist).
Proper batch tools = instant FF4 upgrade
... could never make my own software like Totte have done and if I could I would have already done it and shared here in the forum.
"GMM
I think these are very different types of requests: "give us vector support", or "give us randomizerlocks" or "give us a Loop component" — it will allow us to do something we cannot do now.
And quite another thing is "I don't like the look of the CMDrenderer, make it fancier". "
I agree with you that these ...
Control Locks in V4???
... settings panel, and so could be put perhaps a separation between settings (as suggested here) (http://filterforge.com/forum/read.php?FID=9&TID=11321) that would give a good result randomizing and others apart with a line that would not be a good idea to be randomized and leave them locked and even better would be if they could be able to have a an on/off switch as suggested here (http://filterforge.com/forum/read.php?FID=9&TID=11064)
Lock Controls On Randomize
Author: Constantin Malkov. "
Filter Forge Wiki > Feature Wishlist (http://www.filterforge.com/wiki/index.php/Feature_Wishlist)
Locking controls to exclude them from randomization. (Planned, low priority)"
Hope to see this option in future version.
The most of my filters added to the library was cutted in order to save their stability for randomizer. As result not all functions was included. In my own library ...
Loop component
Author: SpaceRay. ""Listen, smile, agree, and then do whatever the fcvk you were gonna do anyway."
Robert Downey Jr. "
:D :D very good :D :D
"Vladimir Golovin
Things like folder-based filter storage and randomizerlock are boooooooooooooooooring but necessary"
they may be very BOOORING BUT as you say very well they are NECESSARY specially in FF 4.0 after waiting so much time and having been requested already so many times and since LONG ago.
Top 5 "Fixes"......
... and/or interface of the program.....
Mine are as follows.....
1) "Image Proportional Option" on all relevant components.
2) "Disconnect Size, Pixels Control Option" on all relevant components.
3) "Filter Control Lock Boxes / Control Exclusion from Randomization Option".
4) "Full Control over allowable Lighting and its' Parameters".
5) "Merge Lighting Controls with Filter Controls Option".
Control Locks in V4???
Author: SpaceRay. Sorry to bump this thread again, but as told in the above post, I just have been using a filter that would really benefit much from having the randomizationlock feature and so be able to use much better the next variant button.
I would not bother and ask again anymore if there could be any news if this has been considered to be included in FF 4.0, just say yes, no or maybe.
Top 3 Features Wanted!!!
Author: Cierra. StevieJ, yes, yes, yes on #2! I assumed this had already been suggested (since I don't read the forums all that much). I've been wishing FF had this for a long time, now. There have been so many times I've wanted to run a randomize, but lock just a couple of the controls or the colors, and I keep having to go back to another preset I made and jot those on a piece of paper, then manually put them in the new preset.
Three Needed Biggies!!!
... things. All or nothing on the global disconnect is not helpful at all.....needs to be an option by component....
2) Need the proportion gradient to be automatically proportional to any sized image.....rationale is obvious.....
3) Need control locks for use in randomization.....impossible to touch the randomizer when zeroing in on things because it changes all the control settings.....and it is beyond a royal pain in the arse to go back and reset all controls to where they were.....especially on filters with ...
Top 3 Features Wanted!!!
Author: StevieJ. OMG!!! I can't believe FF has finally implemented control locks to now make randomization efficient and usable...user-created folders so we can now organize our filters...and a plethora of new base pattern/noise components so now filter authoring is much easier for everyone of all skill levels to create a much wider range of ...
