ConquistadorAt the moment it appears the only way to create a preset is to do so at track level by right clicking and scrolling down to the Plugin Preset menu and making a choice from there.
While Ctrl+P does exist…it would be nice to have a similar range of choices currently available at track level, when right clicking within the Preset Panel area. In particular New Program Library Presets and New Bank Library Presets right click options.
OR…
Two new buttons next to the Load and Name buttons in the Preset Panel area that will allow one to create new Program Library presets or new Bank Library presets…possibly named PLib & BLib…another naming approach could be PLPre & BLPre or New PL + New BL buttons.

Yes, at least a Create button will be logical to find near the Load and Name (without the three points to make them a little smaller).
I have never understood why the Plugin Preset menu is not available in the Preset inspector. It is the place where we manage the Presets…

Now this is what I am talking about! Instant implementation of feature requests 😆
Sorry Frits it was there all the time… 😳 Great news as I am in the process of creating a large number of presets :mrgreen:, however…there are two reasons why I and others have likely missed it which is probably worth you looking into at some point….
a.…if the popup Help button is disabled you will not see the pop up that tells you to right click on the header this leaves you with zero indication that a right click menu is there.
b. The Podium guide has the following info under Using Presets > Creating Plugin Library Presets…
“Library presets are created with the ‘new’ button in the preset panel or with the ‘new program library preset’ and ‘new bank library preset’ commands found in the preset panel menu and track context menu.
Of course the ‘new’ button is simply not there anymore so it may be an idea to update the guide and maybe also add those buttons I suggested as they will make it much more clearer, especially if popup help is disabled.
The Podium guide currently provides no information on right clicking to find preset options, in the most obvious place to to look in the Podium Guide…Creating Plugin Library Presets.

Sorry too Frits… I am sure that I have already right clicked on the Preset panel and on the Prests names, but NOT on the header. A shame…
For example, it is curious to have “Assign to track” when we right click on a Preset name, but not “Unassign Preset” or “Edit Program Name” which on the header. I have never thought that they could be here.
But this reveals how it is sometimes hard to follow Podium’s interface logic.
Sometimes there is a little triangle which indicates a menu (List) and sometimes the same graphic makes appear or disapear something (Mixer or Editors), sometimes a menu is provided by just a word (Rows and View in the Mixer), sometimes there is a button, sometimes only a right click option.
I think that it is very good to have the choice to use either a menu or a shortcut or a button, but with constants.
Perhaps that a little round button with a O (Options) in all the cases where there it is needed ?
a….if the popup Help button is disabled you will not see the pop up that tells you to right click on the header this leaves you with zero indication that a right click menu is there.
I think that I will turn it on during some days now !
