I cannot translate everything I wrote about Affinity, but you will easily find information in English.. For instance :

However, I listed my favorite ones here (one click on the filter will show you its works) - and you can see most of them

There was one thing I had difficulties to find information about :

How to add a "faves" files on G'MIC for Affinity

As my English is not as fluent as it used to be, you may understand me better by going to the french version and ask Google to translate it. Nonetheless, I'll try to give you some indications here.

I met some difficulties to add this file on my Affinity program, though it’s very simple when you know the goog checkboxes.

Just open Affinity, and the G'Mic modules, and check these arrows are "clickable"

on mine, they were not

but, choosing any filter available, they did appear in clear

So I went back to my selection : "G'MIC - mes préférées" and chose the first one

right clic on the filter - add to your faves

of course, my favorite list is totally subjective, as well as the sorting by effect !

I need also some more time to do the same thing among the "testing group"- even if already selected some of them

this printscreen might be easier to look at ?
