The "Effects" for Xnview MP: Discussion & Suggestions

Hi again,
I have taken a screenshot of all or XnView 1.9x "Effects" found in it's window.
(click on thumbnail)
Does anyone think that for XnView MP, the "Effects" should have it's own top menu in the viewer mode?
All code for each Effect would be the same, I'm discussing here about how it would be better laid out in MP
The "Effects" top menu would have all the menu items and sub-menu items beneath it, like how Paint.NET displays it:

------------------------------------
Perhaps, maybe a Toolbar mode too for all or some "Effects".....
beow quote is from an earlier version of this same topic;
In xnview win, as we all know, on the menu bar in Viewer there is
Filter>'Effects' which is not yet available in MP.
I am saying that when it does get ported to MP, it would still be in the
Filter>'Effects' or maybe even this time under
Image>'Effects'
- but also a toolbar could appear at the same time, similar to the existing 'Spotlight' or 'crop' toolbars:
.....with also an option somewhere in MP to be able to disable showing of this toolbar

In previous version of XnView, you had a menu item for each effect, was not really good...

Yes that's why I am suggesting a different display for XnView MP, perhaps in the form of a top menu like paint.net;

Do you mean the top-menu method already existed in a really old XnView before 1.9x?? Or do you mean something else?
Ok, Pierre, what method can you think of for XnView MP

Yes, and wasn't very good...

Hmm ok, how about just a toolbar (as I already suggested above) but with a drop-down menu for each effect.
Plus user could highlight any number of effects from this proposed drop-down menu - to work with each of them in a session.
Let me create a mock-up to show you as part of my proposal.

How about:
A. An Effects toolbar (horizontal) floating
B. Also too, a Floating dialog window (vertical) just like Paint.NET or GIMP.

Please do not replace the preview image with some generic one (see above suggestion). IMO that would make the preview utterly useless.
All MP previews should be 1) of the image being edited and 2) zoomable a la the export dialogue.
