I see, in this case Steve’s suggestion is more fluent.
For my needs I’ve setup some macros including selfmade PLE commands. One is ‘view all’ that shows me the complete project with all automation collapsed, all folders open but one called ‘edits’. The name ‘edits’ has to be in a PLE command to have it work and of course I always have to call that folder ‘edits’ and nothing else. Should be possible to add a command that re-opens multiout VSTi tracks after ‘hide automation’ which collapses folders incl. VSTi.
Can be tricky to define the proper conditions for something in PLE but anything I wanted from it has worked after some trial-and-error. While all in all the logical editor seems to be more logical than my head wants to be
