What's wrong with the FX Operator Selector?

Nothing wrong ...
but I work in a long 3d series and use fx tree to compose my passes ... so everyday i use the same node like :
Over - Color Invert - Box Blur - File Output ..etc ...
so it's fast for me if all this node that i want in one place ...

As far as I can tell, yes you can.

This is what you need to do.

First, we need to generate presets on disk.

To do this, create the operator - for example, a FileInput - then in its property page do a Save Preset with the icon at the top right, before the "?" icon. Give the preset a name. It will be saved in something like C:\Users\<login>Softimage\XSI_5.11\Data\DSPresets\ImageEffects

Then you can create a toolbar (View->New Custom Toolbar) and drag and drop these presets onto there.
