Nice, looking clean :)

I'm curious about the filters UI: Currently it is possible to select the same element multiple times to form a processing pipeline and to control their sequence. Will this be possible with the new design?

"Saving directory edits" seems missing, too?

Great call, this was an oversight! I'll look into fitting something into the design.

"Saving directory edits" seems missing, too?

This will be a toggle in the file manager when clicking the "save edits" button.

@B-LechCode Could I actually ask your use case? The more I think about this, the more it's just extra complexity. In my mind Oculante is designed for quick edits and anything more should be done in an actual image editor. I doubt 99% of users are going to need more than the maximum values provided so multiple of one filter probably isn't going to be used.

Thank you for clarifying :)

Yes, I can - putting multiple Filters in series is a great thing, for the 3x3 Filter or the expression. I'd like to add morphology sometimes in the future, where you use erosion and dilation in combination to form opening or closing, etc.

I haven't used it often yet, but in my opinion the ability is a great feature. I mostly use oculante to review images from measurement systems, where I love the ability to go through a folder and apply all that stuff in a non destructible way.

So yes, I understand that this adds complexity, but it also adds much of power :)

Thanks for the explanation, I'll have an updated design likely sometime today!

@B-LechCode The design has been updated accordingly! This update includes remove buttons in the filter chain and add buttons in the filters drop down
