Hi , i got another request, in PT when i want to change a plug-in from the rack either from console or edit view modes, i can just click on plug-in again (there is a thing right to the left of the plugin that occupies the same rack spot) and follow the drop floating menu and select the one i want click on it and it switches it.

In SO1 i have to go and remove the plug-in then open the plug-in menu again and then select the plug-in, could we get rid of the extra step of having to remove it first and get  like PT does by just clicking on the side of the current plug-in open the menu and we go ahead and select our plug-in we want to replace with?

These little things count that's why we are forced to use all these DAW instead, if Presonus goal is to have the One do it all DAW, these little details make more of an impact to the actual pro user than the bells and whistles stuff used to attract users.Many of us most the time don't even need, then end up with a feature request forum full of pro users requesting these little things which are the real meaningful stuff.

You can easily drag a plug-in from the browser onto the track and choose "Replace". The fastest way to remove a plug-in is to hold down Cmd/Ctrl and drag the plug-in out of the list.

I need more on point switching not dragging out or in, lets say i am going thru EQ's to find which one i want to use, it takes too manhy steps to take one out open browser and drag one in, it would be very useful like in PT to be able to switch or select none right on the spot,it is one of the best things of PT it makes it fast and easy to switch plugins in one click, for this drop down menus are  the best way to do it and since there are already drop down menus why not add this options to them?
