Default 7.51 Keyboard-inserted JSFX plugins show excessively long plugin names

When inserting JSFX plugins using user-assigned keyboard shortcuts, their names include the full file path instead of just the standard plugin name.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open the FX Browser and right-click on any JSFX plugin.
2. Select "Create shortcut" and assign a shortcut key for inserting the plugin.
3. Double-click the same JSFX plugin in the FX Browser to insert it normally.
4. Close the FX Browser, then use your assigned shortcut to insert the same plugin.
5. Open the Track FX window and compare both instances.

The one inserted via shortcut has a long plugin name as the location of the JSFX plugin gets added to the plugin name. Both instances should display the standard plugin name without path information, as this issue doesn’t occur with VSTs inserted via shortcuts.

System info: Reaper 7.51 (64-bit), Windows 10

if you turn off the fx browser option to show JSFX filenames, then re-create the action, it'll show it without the filename

Please, that option is already Off, same issue still. And what it adds is not just the filename, it's the file path + filename. The plugin is in a custom folder inside REAPER's effects folder, and it's showing that path name in addition to the plugin name.

Have you been able to reproduce it?

The key part is that the shortcut itself needs to be created while the 'Show > JSFX filenames' setting is disabled. Did you try removing and re-creating the shortcut?

Yes, I deleted the shortcut, turned the Filenames off, then re-created the shortcut, but same issue.

I guess it can't be reproduced at your end too?

Ah I think I reproduced it - Windows only, does not require re-generating the action. Fixing.

It’s working correctly now in v7.53. Thank you for fixing this.
