The gallery groups presets by folder, then by name. Every folder starts collapsed. Click the arrow beside a folder to open it, and click its name to show only its presets. The number beside each item is how many presets it holds.

Each folder has a three-dot menu with batch preview actions (see Previews) and Reveal in Explorer (Reveal in Finder on macOS).

Presets sitting directly in a source folder, with no subfolder, are listed under Uncategorized.

Hide or show the sidebar with the button at the left end of the search field. Drag its edge to resize it.

The search field at the top of the panel filters the gallery by preset name, file name, and folder name. It searches whatever the sidebar is showing, so pick All presets to search everything.

Drag the Size slider in the footer to make the cards bigger or smaller. Double-click it to reset.

Selecting a card shows it in the info pane on the right: a larger preview, its folder, source, modified date, file name, and whether it has a preview. The pane also holds Apply, Favorite, the reveal button, its collections, and the preview tools.

Hide or show the info pane with the button at the right end of the search field. Drag its edge to resize it.
