PostFx Utilities

Utility module for loading and saving post-processing effect preset files via file dialogs.

Overview

Returns a standard M module with two functions for managing .postfx preset files. Uses editor_fileDialog for native file browser integration and delegates to postFxModule for actual preset serialization.

Usage Example

-- Load a preset file via dialog
local utils = require("client/postFx/utils")

Internal Flow

-- Load flow:
-- 1. editor_fileDialog.openFile() → user picks file
-- 2. Callback receives {filepath, path}
-- 3. postFxModule.loadPresetFile(filepath)

-- Save flow:
-- 1. editor_fileDialog.saveFile() → user picks destination
-- 2. Callback receives {filepath, path}
-- 3. postFxModule.savePresetFile(filepath)
