No replies?
Your question does make sense, in other applications it might be called a macro operation where procedures can be recorded and saved.
Nothing like that in Gimp. The usual reply is "Write a script" such script being in a programming language script-fu or python-fu. Whatever the guru's say, that is not easy.
In Gimp there are some operations that can be saved as a preset, these tend do be the colour operations, curves etc. but also the GEGL filters - those that have a G icon against them.
That does not link a series of effects together, up to you to note the sequence but at least the filter values are saved.
There are one or two third party scripts/plugins that save settings, the notable one is gmic_gimp http://www.gmic.eu That has a host of filters (530) of all types and each with settings can be saved as a 'favorite'. Still up to you to chain various filters together although there is a 'custom code' provision which will be easier than a Gimp script.
If you give details of the types of filters/effects you use, you might get a better answer.
