couple of points. i got an answer here:
this allows pasting of a saved group of filters to a clip. kind of klunky, but it worked. i’m guessing that the xml file should be editable if one wanted to cut down the number of filters the xml saves. no experience with that, though.
second, multi-selection of filters seems like it would be foundational to such requested menu options as:
copy selected filter(s)
copy all filters
having the additional option to save either the selection or all filters as a group/chain/stack would be very useful.
as for adding filters before editing, it’s not useful in my experience. color choices can change as the work progresses and that initial grading can be rendered obsolete. it can also lead to filter redundancy or cancellation, rendering the careful planning advocated here also obsolete.
just some thoughts from someone who’s been at this for a very long time on pretty much all of the platforms.
thx,
