FX reload and replace

When we right-click a certain effect or instrument in the FX chain window, it would be nice to have two options:

* Replace selected FX
* Reload selected FX

It is very convenient to have.

Can't see a use for reload myself but replace is a long time coming
Same goes for FX chains which should by any stretch of the imagination be held within a single container so that not only can you use replace but also delete an entire chain easily

Absolutely. Would streamline things a bit more.

Some plugins have possibility of changing skins and need a reload to do so (Oatmeal for example). Other than that sometimes I reload VST in case shit happens. Very useful thing to have!

Since there is no discussion topic, I'll add here:

It may come handy to also feature a 'proxy' option,
which would store the original FX data and give you
an option to use an alternative FX.

(After Effects use such system for footage)

This would be handy when switching between different
systems and going to other studios, especially with
portable version, so that there is always an available
plug-in. Another great use would be AU vs. VST config,
so when switching between PC and MAC (if not using mac
VST versions) the system would automatically load the
available alternative.

I know it's possible to simply add another plug-in,
and bypass- or offline it. But with long chains
this would be a better internal way of sorting
the plug-in availability/alternatives.

Thinking out loud.

I'd like to add that some plugins need a reload after a sample rate change or internal setting change.

Control-doubleclick on the FX checkbox in the FX chain window will reload the FX (offline and un-offline it).
