Though I find Global blocks very useful I've burned myself a few times where I made a change to a linked block in a preset forgetting/not noticing the block was linked, and then saved the preset - doh!. Of course all the presets with links to that Global Block were changed accordingly. On such occasions, I've tried to back out with restores from previous backups of the inadvertently changed preset but that will not restore the changed global block. I think I could get a global block back with a system file restore but I won't want all the other system parms restored. To mitigate this I regularly copy all my presets (32) to secondary preset positions (33-64) and unlink each copy 1 by 1 using the "Unlink All Blocks from Global" command in the preset menu. This protects me from making such mistakes as I can get a copy of any unlinked block from a preset's backup positon (not sure if others might be using this strategy or have different inventive ways of protecting against this - I thought snapshots might be another answer but they save the links so no go).
To make this type of backup procedure less labour intensive my wish is to have the "Unlink All Blocks from Global" command in the preset menu also appear in the "Manage Presets" tool right click menu so that a group of selected (highlighted) presets (33-64 in my case) could all be disconnected from Globals in bulk instead of having to do the unlinking of each preset one by one.
