Organizing presets in LR

[LueyD]

I wanted to organize my presets - for example - abc presets and then the next set from a different source and so on....  Is there a way to do that?

The LR UI lets you create "groups" where you can drag and drop the presets. While this will create "folders" on the screen, the files will not be in subfolders on the hard drive. (You can manually do that if desired.)

I have seen mention of a plug-in that will help with this process, but I have not tried it:

Thank you I saw that as well but was concerned it wouldn't work. I prefer to do it off of the hard drive, so I can manage them the way that works best for me. Don't really want a huge amount of folders but I do want to seperate them by the different places I get them. :(. I'll keep looking it shouldn't be this hard UGH. lol

Again thank you for your assistance

The plugin from John Ellis works very well. I have used it. (Many thanks to John!)

This is the feature in the plugin that you would run to make the Preset panel 'mirror' the folders on the hard-drive-

And you can then get something like this- ( I used numbered folders that sort numerically)
