P: Better Preset Organization (sub-folders, tag, search)

I'd love a better way to organize brushes, shapes, and styles. Perhaps a way to tag them, then search or sort by tag.

That is good, didn't know about that since I never use the panel. Tool presets are still more powerful than the brush presets. I might start to use the brush preset panel for quickly browsing stamp brushes though. The large thumbnail view is a nice way to quickly browse.

OK, if you don't want the preview, change the view of the brushes (thumbnails, large thumbnails, etc.).

Tool presets are what i Hve been using for the pat couple years now. The enhanced view in the brush presets panel is too bulk and not very useful. I don't need to see how the brush is going to paint a wavy line, I made the brush. I know what it will do when I use it.

Being able to have sortable groups that could be collapsed and expanded quickly would be great.

Sergey, can you upload your script again? It looks great.

I'll add to this here instead of a new topic.

We already have a Layers filter in CS6. It would be great if we had this kind of filter for Tool presets (I personally only ever use Mixer brush, Eraser and Smudge while painting for example). Instead of the single ON/OFF "Current Tool Only" toggle as it currently is, I'd love to see Tool icons across the top of the palette for filtering.

Allow color swatches to be stored in drop down folders to visually see different color pallets in custom groups.

Agreed. Painter, Sketchbook Pro and Manga studio have some great functionality, and have had for years. Like mirror/tile painting, real time brush rotation, stroke smoothing, ability to draw along specific angles are huge time- savers. Yet, Adobe tries to shove more lame features like 3D and Video into Photoshop...?

I love your comment. "for those who do things professionally..." yes. Listen to the professionals.
