SUMMARY
I've downloaded quite a few free Look-Up Tables (LUTs) for colour grading, and would love to have a better way of previewing them all and saving my favourite ones.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
As of now, if you open a new project file, drop in a video file, add the effect "Apply LUT", go to the Effect/Composition Stack, click on the folder beside "LUT file to apply", and select a .cube, .3dl, .dat, or .m3d LUT file, you'll see how the LUT looks on the clip.

However, if you want to preview another look, you have to click on the folder icon again, select another one, and see it that way. If you have dozens of LUTs, previewing them all can be quite tedious, as opposed to being able to see them all at once without having the repetitive clicking.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows: 10

Thanks for your feedback! I am glad to tell you that the LUT workflow had been already improved a few weeks ago. The improvement is going to be in 21.04 (release in April 2021). You can already test the improvements with the daily build (download it from the bottom of the download page https://kdenlive.org/en/download/)

Please let us know if this is what you need or if you have further improvement suggestions.

Thank you for your reply, Julius! I tried the daily build, and I really like this improvement. I'm able to scroll through the different LUTs in a given folder with my mouse, which is a big improvement from what I described in the bug report.
