Lightroom Classic: How do I organize presets?
I'm completely lost.
After 7.3 update, organizing presets is really hard! Why folder structure in C:\Users\***\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\CameraRaw\Settings is not updated in Lightroom Classic? How can I move multiple presets to different folder? How can I edit multiple presets? How can I edit folder structure effectively without slow renaming one by one in LR?
It is very frustrating. XMP presets are easy editable in batch by many text editors, but they contain line "***" which makes folder structure in Windows not working in LR? WHY?! What is it good for?

With the new presets introduced in LR 7.3, it is indeed harder to manage them.
To create a new preset group, you need to create a dummy preset and in the Group drop-down of the New Develop Preset window, select New Group. Then move presets into that group before deleting the dummy preset (otherwise, the group will disappear).
You can move presets one at a time in the Presets panel by dragging them into a new group. But you can't move more than one at a time.
As workaround, the Organize Into Groups command of the free Fix Presets plugin lets you organize your presets' .xmp files into folders using Finder / File Explorer.
