Organization (SUGGESTION) #7

These are all INCREDIBLY useful and helpful effects, but with the full pack of all your plugins, this list is HUGE! It's a bit of a pain to hunt through a giant list of text every time I want to use certain effects, so is there a way they can be better organized in GIMP? Maybe having a way to "pin" certain effect to the right-click menu in the layers panel? So say I right-click a layer and I get an option for GEGLeffect in that menu.

Not really an issue with the effects themselves, but would be helpful since the list of effects is so long.

This is an issue Gimp currently has. I asked a Gimp dev about earlier and he said he doesn't think it is possible in Gimp 2.10 or 3.0 to list filters I made in the menu without recompiling. The best solution I think would be for GEGL Operations to have a search (like GMIC) - so I recommend filing a request on Gimp's gitlab for that.

In the mean time I recommend making a keyboard shourtcut to open GEGL Operations and removing operations you do not need.

Would be nice if GIMP could just include these by default so they can be better organized, but oh well

I want that too but they (Gimp's team) thinks I took some sloppy shortcuts to make these filters. Which I did because I don't know how to code. I think if enough people advocate for them in Gimp it will happen. They can modify and fix the sloppy shortcuts themselves.
