... Smart! And a Favourite group where you can copy (not move) profiles from the other groups. This would be different from the performance mode: just a way to keep at hand your preferred 20-sh profiles.

Doesn't Snapshot work for you for this task?

I was rather thinking of an easy, 2-level, parallel system:

• the whole profiles set in the main folder;
  
  
• a set of freely-labelled folders to group them accordingly to a criterion of your own (for example home/church/garage, marshall/fender/vox/bass/acoustic/DI, clean/crunch/power/lead). Of course a rig/profile can appear in more than one folder;
  
  
• your favourite 30-40 in the Favourite folder;
  
  
• the Snapshot for the 5-15 you always use;
  
  
• Performance mode to set your songs sequence (show).

This is the way which would make things easiest for me

This is a very good idea that solves many needs very simplistically.

It may already be implied by the examples of how it could be used but if this were implemented, it needs to be done in a way so that we could save the same rig under different groups.

This could really help us in realizing what to keep on the amp vs what to toss - btw. Once you have all the amps from one mfg in a group you could audition them all much easier than trying to sift through several hundred rigs to do so.

I understand that a more robust ability to browse is something coming down the road and many of us have been looking for a tag editor but Andy's suggestion wouldn't require me to edit any tags in order for me to find what I'm looking for when that search function becomes available. I picture hitting save - group - and then choosing either pick existing group or create new. Done. If I want to find my Tweed amp rigs I just pull that group. If I want my Best Clean I pull that group and if I want to see all my Swart rigs I pull that group and some of them would have been in all thee groups. Even if the browse let me search the tags I might find one named Swart another AST.. another Tweed, etc. and I would never keep up with it without a super kick ass editor and a bunch of time.

hi,

and an automaticly created group "NEW" with the latest imported profiles.
(KPA switches automaticly to this group after import/reboot)
(from there you can move them to one or more of your groups, delete or keep for further checking)

ao

All good, but it sounds a bit (not extensively) complicated to develop and implement. I may be wrong...

... Really?

Well, it's certainly by far easier than implementing a looper, USB Audio, stomp profiling, dual-amp and all the other assorted things popping up now and then here around


PS. +1 for Anot's suggestion

@BuckeyeBrown: sure, you should be able to put the same rig/profile in several folders.

From a programmer's POW, folders could become profiles' attributes. Or they could opt for a more classic, simple 2-level folder structure.
The former option has the advantage that you can completely manage a profile's multiple locations by just editing the profile itself, w/o the need to browse through your folders structure, remember where is what and the like.
Among other things, this seems to me to better fit a future profile editor/librarian. OTOH, this would require more attention when backing-up, restoring, importing profiles. A simple set of algorithmic rules shall be set to not make things complex for the user.
