This is earlier 1.x stuff mostly and I stopped talking about it for Reaper FR's because people took it the wrong way, like fanboyism. I mean, you can literally shift + select the entire mixer in S1 and save FX chains for every mixer channel in the song with a single drag drop to the browser.
I'm actually surprised nobody else is doing it yet. I thought that would be ripped (drag and drop presets) long ago. I rarely ever save a preset the old way. I just create a folder named after the song and drag the entire mixer there and I have an archive of all the plug chains.
So yeah, drag and drop is the way to go for a lot of this stuff until you run out of stuff to drag and drop.
But any FX you use get saved in the song file anyway and you can always browse directly into any song on disk and just pull them back out and use them... so there always there available anyway, never lost. You don't really have to save any FX chains ever unless you just want them listed in the pop-up menus or your FX chain browser folder for use.
Obviously a collection of FX chains is easier to identify if you put them in a folder by themselves rather than looking for them in a song you did 3 months ago like below...
