Categories and Tags

Each preset is described by a few common 

Categories.

 Within each of them there may be one or more 

Tags 

from a particular set.

A single category in a filter with a description of its elements

Presets from 

Factory

 resource were described by 

Categories

 and 

Tags 

during the stage of its creation. 

Categories

 and

 Tags

 are chosen 

 

in such a way so as to describe the content in the best possible way, taking into account the plug-in purpose. 

Editing of 

Categories 

and 

Tags

 in case of 

Factory 

content is not possible – it is blocked. 

User 

presets may be described only with 

 

Categories

 and 

Tags

 from factory content or, alternatively, the users may define their additional 

Tags

 in order to describe their own pre-

sets.

Results

This is a list of presets from chosen resources that meet the filtering criteria. The basic function of this section is browsing and loading 

 

presets (in 

Browsing Mode
