In my version of Inkscape I cannot store filters directly. When I create a new filter it is stored automatically in/with a concrete svg file. For every new plot I would have to recreate the filter. Did I overlook something? I saw in a (of course Windoze) tutorial a "Save" button in the filter editor. This button does not exist in my version. Any ideas?
Create a new doc with just a simple shape having the custom filter effect applied (copy&paste into the new doc) and save it into '~/-config/inkscape/filters'. After a restart of Inkscape the custom preset filter will be available in 'Filters > Personal'.

I'm not aware of any stable (released) Inkscape version having a 'Save' button in the filter editor.
Because, when I want to apply a filter through the commandline, I assume it must be listet via "inkscape --verb-list".
As far as I can tell, filters loaded from '~/.config/inkscape/filters/' are available as verbs (verb-list tested with Inkscape 0.48.1 on osx).
