P: Have develop preset parameters viewable inside Lightroom after creation.

Have develop preset settings viewable inside Lightroom after creation.

I find it a bit cumbersome that I cannot see the parameters specified in a deveop preset after it has been created.
I'd appreciate an entry in the context menu of a preset: "show definition of preset". This should display, like the criteria of a smart collection, how the preset was defined: which panels included, which slider settings or auto algorithms chosen.
Currently it is guess from hovering/navigator panel or try&undo, or I have to view them in a text editor from OS storage location.

    Re "3. When I do local adjustment it would be great to call them layers and put them in a panel above ‘Basic’",

    Please post a separate feature request for this -- Adobe will likely miss it in this thread, which is about a separate topic. In general, feature requests will have their greatest influence when there is one feature request per post.

    In the Develop module, control-click a preset and choosing 'Update with Current Settings' brings up the 'Update Develop Preset' panel/dialog.

    I want to apply the same settings to the Preset (with new values of course) that were applied last time it was updated. Therefore, I request:

     

    The panel/dialog should have exactly those tick boxes selected for exactly those settings that were used to create the preset or used last time it was updated. 

     

    This guarantees that only the relevant settings are updated, and it is also necessary to be able to see which settings this preset is supposed to affect.

      Moderators, @Rikk Flohr: Photography, please merge with this popular Idea, which is a little more general:

      https://community.adobe.com/t5/lightroom-classic-ideas/p-have-develop-preset-parameters-viewable-inside-lightroom-after-creation/idi-p/12249989

       

      Several people in that thread mention the problem of knowing which boxes to check when doing Update With Current Settings.

      My Wishlist for Lightroom

      1. When I choose create Presets It would be nice if I could see

           all sliders that I moved.

           In this example I just moved

           Highlights/Shadows and Color Grading.

           When I purchased presets it would be a great value too se

           what sliders are involved in the preset.

           

            Today It shows the latest settings.

       

      1. I need more groups under the Presets

          As an example I need who delivers the preset, first level, second level, third level

         

      Göran Säll        (my name or delivers name)  level 1

           B&W                             level 2

                 Filmtypes              level 3

                       FP4                   (the preset)

                       Delta 100        (the preset)

                 Tones

                       Soft                  (the preset)

                       Hard                (the prset)

                  Paper

                     Warmtone        (the preset)

                     Ccoldtone         (the preset)

           Color                            level 2

                 Level 3

                     Preset

      Adobe std                     level 1

           High contrast          the preset

       

      Today it looks like this

       

      1. When I do local adjustment it would be great to call them layers and put them in

           a panel above ‘Basic’.

           It is easier too find them (no more pins), show or not show, set the opacitet, remove and more

      Consider the 'Dev Preset Info' script - it shows:

      * Summary info which includes the groups already in a preset, so you know which to update.
      * Detail info which includes all settings in the preset.

      You can leave it open while you work, or close it down if you feel like it..

      Free, by me, here:

      The feature has already been requested. If you could find it, you could vote on it, and comment there...

      Or maybe the wizard behind the curtain will merge threads...

      Second apology, I have listed this as a bug, and I'd like it to be a suggestion for a future version. How do I change the category, or should I re-list this?
