I cant remember either their values or the queue of the filters. I knwo how to use under history, and recently used filters. 

I want the easiest way to apply it. 

Chatgpt suggested to save the image as xcf, copy visible from edit, and then paste as new layer. Dont work. It copy the image as whole not only the filter that i have applied to this image. 

How i can copy a batch of filters applied to an image as edits to another image?

If you haven't saved the image that has the filters as effects (fx showing in the layers dialog for (a single) layer) in xcf format then there is not much you can do :-(

If you have saved the image that has the filters as effects (fx showing in the layers dialog for (a single) layer) in xcf format
then you can edit the filters and this will show the settings used. You could then produce a Script-fu or (preferably) Python script to call the filters with the parameters noted from the filter edit windows.

Alternatively, if you only want to apply the same filter settings to one or two images or you don't feel able to produce a script you could try the following:

Open the image that has the filters as fx effects

Open the image that you want to apply the same filter settings to as a new layer (File/Open as Layers...)

Make sure that the new layer is the selected one (in the layers dialog) - it should be selected by default

Select the whole of the new layer

Edit/Copy

Click on the "eye" icon for the new layer to make it invisible

Click on the layer that has the effects associated with it in the layers dialog in order to select it

Edit/Paste as/Paste As Floating Data - this will created a floating selection/layer

Right-click on the floating layer in the layers dialog and select Anchor Floating Layer or Mask

The layer effects should now apply to the second image (you can delete the layer that was created when the second image was opened - although toggling the visibility of this layer will show that the effects are operating on the second image)
