Default A picture says more than 1000 words... (FIXED)

Take a look at this:



Doesn't this look MUCH better?



Basically, there's no need to tell something is a "DX", or "DXi" or "VSTi" or whatever, if we've already selected that folder in FX chain!

Hmmmm...not quite sure if I get your point, but:

The prefix can be useful in combination with the filter, since filtering can also be applied to pre-selected folders. Say, I am a collector of EQ plugins and have created a user-defined folder "EQ". Selecting this folder, I see a very long list of EQ plugins - VST, DX and JS. If, for some reason, I want to further restrict the selection to one of these three types, I can use the prefix in order to do so (e.g. by typing "DX" in the filter field). Also, the prefix lets you search for a particular plugin by type (VSTi, DX, whatever) right from the "All Plugins" top level. This is a good feature, since the FX browser opens in the "All Plugins" display mode by default and I might be too lazy to click my way through all the folders, so I use "VSTi", "DX"... as a filter instead.

I agree that it is not needed in VST, VSTi, DX, DXi, and JS folders...very redundant and eye fatiguing.

I was thinking the exact same thing earlier today.
I can agree with sts that those prefixes can be nice to have in the fxbrowser but when using the 'AddFX' from the mixer to
grab plugins from your favourites folder I think that the same prefixes just clutters the list.

It's a minor (even a non-) issue, but I still find them a bit 'annoying'...
