The new filters are great. I would like a way to save frequently used custom filters into the menu.

I would love to have the ability to pin frequently used filters to the dashboard allowing to quickly go to favorite subsets.  
This is something that should have been in there from the start.

You can in the meantime save custom filters as smart playlists. The filter criteria of those lists can also be edited.  
To use this, you might need to use the hosted version of Plex Web (the locally bundled version on the latest PMS is still on 4.30.2; this feature requires 4.31.1 or newer).

> 4.31.1 NEW: Added experimental support for editing of smart playlists. Please report issues you have in the forums. Add support for subtitles in Movies on Plex content. Home admins can now set an avatar for managed users Added support for Recent Channels in Live TV Added ability to fling Live TV content to Chromecast devices FIXED: Fixed restrictions not applying correctly when creating managed users Fixed poorly formatted Linked Account icons in Account settings

PS: closing this suggestion and returning your votes so you can push other suggestions 😃
