GEGL Graph chain operation should be easier to use.
Hey, I'm friends with Liam on the Gimp discord and I've been experimenting with GEGL Graph chain operations. I'd like to know if there is a way to make GEGL graph easier so Gimp can do things like designer text with less manual effort.
Here are some examples of me using GEGL Graph chain operations https://streamable.com/y8yl6z
You can even test them yourself
Very Small

Color Overlays, Drop Shadow, Long Shadow and Transformation overlays are at the heart of this. If you could think of a way to make GEGL chain operations easier a lot more people would benefit from the Gimp.
One idea is to have Gimp save the operations manually in a folder and run them all together, (like pic attached). That way a user could revoke the design text.
The end goal is to make it where the user can make design text as quick as possible instead of manually evoking drop shadow long shadow and gegl operation menu > color overlay. Please consider. I think a lot of people would like this.
