I think it would be cute to see the default VST bank entries in the DirectX
presets. I don't mind not seeing the other banks, most of my plugz just have
a default bank with something like 20 entries.
That makes friendly to browser the default plug-in presets for trying new
plug-ins. Then I usually go more in details and I don't use the factory
presets anymore.

Yes !!! that is it exactly !!
And would it be possible to fix the Sonic Foundry bug and make Directxer
work outside the plug-in chain ?
