Dividing presets into clusters

[szerwony]

Hello. Do anyone know, how can I divide presets into "clusters". I want to separate some of my presets folders with those lines:

If you want one or more preset groups to appear in a separate cluster, do the follow steps for every preset in the groups:

1. Right-click the preset and do Show In Finder / Explorer.

2. Edit the selected .xmp file in a text editor, e.g. Text Edit or Notepad.

3. Replace the following line:

crs:Cluster=""

with this:

crs:Cluster="John's Cluster"

So if I have for example 400 presets, I need to do this manually to every single preset? That would take a lot of time. Is there no automatic or faster solution for this?

Never mind, I managed to group edit presets with Notepad++

i use a mac and i also use adobe creative cloud version of lighroom, how were you able to create a "cluster" from a group?

You can also do it in Camera Raw. I can't check this because I am typing this on my iPad, but I am pretty sure it works like this: Right-click on the preset and then choose 'Rename Preset' while holding the Alt/Option key. This will give you an extended rename dialog with an option to add/change the cluster too.

hi, i know i am 4 years late from the initial reply, but would you mind explaining how do you get around editing clusters with Notepad++? i just downloaded Notepad++ and have exactly no clue where to start. Thank you so much

This is how I did it:

Open Notepad++, close any open documents. Drag all the txt files you want to edit into Notepad++.

Then go to Search/Replace. Fill out Find what/replace with then hit "Replace All in All opened Documents. Then goto File/Save All.

You'll be editing/replacing the "cluster" part of the document.

(deleted - the OP's screnshot shows clusters of preset groups, not organising presets between groups. The latter is a simple drag-drop - with new groups easy to add by selecting that option within the Move preset command.)
