1 click Scancleaner

I'd like to make a custombutton to do a "Scan Clean".
The scancleaner is an FXstack function and therefore i have to set it up new for every new project.
And because the default setting is not neutral(a longtime frustration) i have to go into the Profile every time as well, all in all a lot of steps ( 8 mouseclicks) that i'd like to bring down to just one
so is there a way to connect an fx to a custombutton action?

I wonder if it's possible to add 2 buttons to the scan cleaner FX:
"make this default" and "return to factory default".

A while ago Sven suggested this here:
viewtopic.php?f=10&t=8600" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Here's one way that I"ve used for years.
I have a bunch of FX.bin files stored (Exported) in a TVPaint subfolder named FxBin. when I want to create a button that will execute one of the effects, I create the button and insert this single command line:
tv_StackExecute FxBin\EffectFilename.bin
Replace the FxBin\ above with the subfolder where you store your Effects, and replace EffectFilename.bin above with your own effect.bin file name.
This should allow you to apply simple effects without even seeing the FX interface. In most cases, I create an FX and Export it with modest settings so that I can vary (heighten) the effect by clicking on the button I created multiple times.
There are other solutions to making FX buttons but this is the simplest I think.

yep, I use it a lot too,
... and I have my FSC button for a long time now, (FSC for "Flat Scan Cleaner")
the command
tv_StackExecute pathbinfilename is working like a charm for custom FXs you are using constantly,
and, the cherry on the cake, it doesn't destroy the stacked FXs of your project.
unfortunately, these buttons aren't as easy as that to share with others,
because the specific path where the bin have been saved/stored.

+1 . Make the user's Scan Cleaner settings the default (stays that way until reset).

That is it... Just what i need, and as zig mentioned, good for lots of other fx's too.
Thank you Paul, Sven and Zig!
