Most people seem to like the python scripting stuff over the custom filter. With macros you can create a GUI button for running the python script as well. The custom filter may be able to expose some of the calculator inputs in the way that you want to in the gui though. I think the custom filter can somehow be saved so that you can share it with other people but I'm not sure how to do that.<br>
