You can organise brushes (and other resources) using Ofnuts resource manager.
Download is here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/gimp-to...s/scripts/ well down the list addonCollectionManager-3.0.py dated 2013-05-26
and about it here: http://gimp-tools.sourceforge.net/managementtools.shtml
All you need to do is put addonCollectionManager-3.0.py in C:\Users\"yourname"\AppData\Roaming\GIMP\2.10\plug-ins
Make a folder brushes_storage (note the underscore) in the Gimp folder. zip each of those folders of brushes you made. Put those zipped folders in the brushes_storage folder.
Obviously you also get rid of all those original folders in the brushes folder - archive them somewhere safe.
Might look like this
(1) that brushes_storage folder
(2) All those zipped folders for categories of brushes in brushes_storage
(3) Inside one of those zipped folders.
In Use
(4) Right-Click in the brushes dock and select Brushes sets
(5) That brings up a list of the folders. Tick and untick any of the ones you want to load / unload. Ok that and the brushes dock is automatically refreshed.
If you have any PS .abr brush sets you can zip those individually.
+1 for the recommendation. Note that you can also use plain subdirectories instead of ZIPs. It is even a better solution on Unix filesystems (OS/ and Linux, for instanceà because in that case the activation of the group is done by creating links instead of copying the files and this is much faster.
