P: Respect Hierarchical Folders of Presets

5 years ago, poster Sean Phillips first suggested this idea. Adobe has officially marked it as "implemented" - however, it is not implemented. Preset subfolders are scanned by LR, however, directory structure is not respected beyond the first level.

This makes preset management kludgy and inefficient. Please correct this by simply allowing the LR preset hierarchy to reflect the subfolder structure in the LR develop preset folder tree.

    Come on Adobe... Subfolder Hierarchy in Presets is a must have. I work with a lot of Presets and since Years it is horrible to manage this in LR. Month by Month my Preset Library grows bigger without a Subfolder Hierarchy in Presets i ́ll wasted a lot of time to find the right Preset.

    Why do you not save your presets with the catalog if you do so you are shure to have in your catalogs only the presets you need for example for landscape only landscape preset for portrait only. ...

    This is a completely different suggestion though. If you want that you should create a new thread for it...  Having said that there is already a plugin available that does this for you:

    The other thing, is having a Preset Intensity option. I have so many presets that are "Brightness -10" "Brightness 0" "Brightness +10" etc, all could be solved with a simply slider for the intensity of the Preset.

    Similar in principle to how some smartphone apps work like Aviary, you apply a filter then drag up and down on image to affect how strong the filter effect is.

    It just makes so much good sense to be able to organize presets into a multi-level hierarchical structure. It will speed up my workflow so much to have this. It's really hard to understand why we haven't had this available.

    I've been waiting for this feature since the very first version of Lightroom.
