To create your own I suggest copying "sepia.h" in /src/extensions/internal/filter and replacing the strings.

Thanks, but this is not what I proposed. Having each filter hard-coded in the source is a bad idea! Can you just make one generic filter-inserter class which takes the filter source from share/filters/filters.svg, where any user could add his/her own filters without recompiling? Your way bloats the source and makes the entire system very limited. Do you want an avalanche of patches submitted with "hey, add my filter too!"? :)
