Wish A ‘where used’ function in FM3-Edit

[Falcon75]

Today I was looking for a presets on my FM3 that used a certain amp model. I was thinking that it would be nice to have some kind of ‘where used’ function.
For example, right-click on an amp, cab, or effect model opens a menu option that lists all presets that use that particular model. Then when you click the preset, it loads on you FM3.

I think FracTool can do this... But not 100% sure.

The finding part, though.

I haven’t checked if this possible in fractool yet, but it would be a nice feature I think.

It lets you dump a preset to a text file, and from there you can search using various tools, but I haven't seen any search function inside the app itself.

Yeah... That is not what I'm talking about.

I may be misremembering, but I thought there was ability to do that.

It can. Not at my computer so I can't give you details, but I asked about it on this site, got instructions and they work.

I agree that it'd be nice and I've wished for it too, but I don't think it'd be fast unless they build a little database that contains information about every preset, and then it'd have to update it every time it loads the presets, unless there's a timestamp or checksum to confirm if there's been a change, and computing that'd take time....

Without knowing how Fractal constructed the internal representation of all the presets it's hard to say, but I definitely agree, it'd be wonderful to be able to search for specific blocks throughout the presets. Being able to search through the factory examples would be nice as there are useful hints on how to do things.

There's only a tool to list which cabs are used and where

Ok... That's what I was thinking of then. Your tool has so many cool features I tend to think it can do it all
