Preset files for other adjustments?

[plinkgabu]

Hi Kamil,
Do you have plans to allow loading of preset files for Custom actions or to add more adjustments to the 'Color correction' menu? For example, I would like to load a preset file for Hue-Saturation but I don't think it's currently possible (unless I've missed something!).
Many thanks

Hi, I quickly looked at the available custom actions that you can add via Add Custom Action... and I found gimp-drawable-hue-saturation, which appears to be the closest match to the HSV tool in GIMP. Could that perhaps fit the bill for you?

Hi Kamil, thanks for having a look and getting back to me.
Yes, gimp-drawable-hue-saturation is a great custom action to have access to in batcher, but it does not currently allow a preset file to be loaded in the same way that 'Color correction' does with levels and curves presets.
Being able to load a preset file for gimp-drawable-hue-saturation would be really useful for making routine colour adjustments to large sets of images, for example when compensating for particular cameras, scanners and printers.
Would it be possible to add this functionality to Batcher?

I'll look into adding it as time permits, though it will very likely be in a later release. I'd like to move forward with the upcoming release, as quite a lot of changes have built up since the last version.

@plinkgabu Loading and saving preset files is now possible with Batcher 1.2.10. I added Hue-Saturation and Color Balance as built-in actions for convenience (since the custom actions only allow modifying one channel/type of range at a time, unlike the corresponding tools in GIMP).
