Help in configuring FX by name in multiple mappings
When I initially learn mappings for a VST, the VST is selected via "By ID". Then, when I want to save, it is converted automatically to "focused". But when I want to change it to "by name", I need to go into each mapping individually to adapt it (or use an external editor like VIM on the JSON). It would be great to have the "save"-popup let me choose between "focused" or "by name + pattern". Or the possibility to copy this aspect of one mapping to all other mappings of the currently filtered list.
maybe can be combined somehow with #224 ("go to next mapping and apply same change").
Not sure if this issue is still relevant after the following planned change: I want to provide a new FX selector "Instance FX" and track selector "Instance track" and a way to set an FX / a track for the whole ReaLearn instance (which can be anything: Focused FX, By name, etc.). Then when saving the preset and discovering something project-dependent, I would always convert the selector to "Instance track / instance FX" instead of "Focused". That should increase reusability of main presets very much and probably render this request unimportant ... or not?
Sorry for not answering this before. Yes, that would also work. Slight disadvantage: when "starting from scratch", and loading the Main Mapping preset into the ReaLearn Instance, the "Instance FX" would also need to be chosen (one additional step). Maybe the preset could also contain a default "Instance FX" (by name pattern, in my case)? The default "Track FX" would be the current track.
