Default All plugin windows open/floating at once?

Greetings!

I was wondering if there is a way to float all plugins at once in a given mix? The reason is, I'd like to display all plugin settings with a single mixer screenshot because I want to share them with a fellow DAW user who happens to be running Cakewalk. There aren't many plugins involved in this particular mix, so I've got plenty of screen real estate to float them all, if that's even possible.

If not, I guess the only thing I can do is to float the plugins in each FX rack track-by-track, and take a screenshot for each track. That wouldn't be a big deal for this mix since it only contains 6 tracks, but it would be a real pain for mixes with many more tracks and plugins.

Or, maybe there's a better way to accomplish what I'm trying to do?

Hope that makes sense... Thanks in advance for any advice!

You could possibly do it with a script,
Code:
-- Show all FX as floating
for i = 0, reaper.CountTracks(0)-1 do 
  track = reaper.GetTrack(0, i)
  for fx = 0, reaper.TrackFX_GetCount(track)-1 do
    reaper.TrackFX_Show(track, fx, 3) -- showflag=0 for hide chain, =1 for show chain, =2 for hide floating window, =3 for show floating window    
  end
end
EDIT, just noticed, there are SWS actions to do that also,...
SWS/S&M: Show all floating FX windows (!)

I wasn't even aware of the SWS extension package, will give that a try a bit later today. Thanks so much for the info!

Keep in mind you can also put images directly onto a track, to easily keep all your screens with the project. They can be viewed in the video window.
