No, the fx chain does not get displayed because it's basically just a preset that loads fx inand then you can add more effects and so it would no longer be that chain

^^^^^ That.
But it could be useful to have that info in Undo History maybe...? (just for reference to origins)
(Something like "date/time ... FXChain "chain_name" added to a track XY")

"rack" isn't FXChain as soon as any other FX is added/removed/repositioned within the chain and when any parameter is tweaked after the fact - that's why Coachz wrote analogy to a "preset".
EDIT:
But you may use "FX Comment for" the very first FX in a Chain (or even for every one in chain if you can spend time to add that info to all of them) and Enter there the same name as filename of FXChain. Then you could get clue what chain was originally loaded... before it got messed by further tweaking and editing, of course

workaround would be to make a dummy blank JSFX plugin, rename it to the name you want, and include it in the fxchain.

That's a pretty good idea. You could put it first and give it the FX chain name with some characters around it to make it stand out from all the others.

right, but, if you're developing a workflow, as i described, you'd give the chain a name and number, resaving and incrementing with each change. Dialog_FX-00 might be an example name.
i actually do use dummy plugs for identification of sections within my chains but it's a lot more work to do that than it would be to simply see the fxchain name readily displayed someplace. also, the same argument can be made regarding individual fx presets. i just tried loading a preset and changed the settings. by the logic above, this should be a new preset now, yet the original preset name still shows. it does revert to 'no preset' after a save and reopen. if the preset is unchanged, the original name is preserved in the display. perhaps this is an area that could use a little thought. i'd be happy, though, if there was a display field someplace for full fxchains that behaved like this.
thanks,
babag

In fact it does not make a sense at all.
If you just load more than one FXChain files to a track, then it cannot display correct info.
And if by chain as a "rack" you could mean set of plugins in specific order and specifically interconnected (by in/out pins of each single FX instance). Parameters settings aside, so even if you tweak parameters of each plugin there it is still the chain/rack. But again if you change the order, add another FX, change routing between the FX's, then it woul be misleading to call it by the original FXChain name.

if you change something it reverts to something similar to the 'no preset' state of individual plugins. seems pretty simple.
