Hi Victor, Yes, the issue is wide-reaching because a lot of plug-in developers feel that the standard preset menus offered by most DAWs are severely lacking in support for organization and search capabilities. Several developers are urging cooperation among DAWs to design a universal preset browser with advanced search and tagging capabilities. Avid, at least so far, has not ruled out this idea and it would be a good thing in general. The problem is that it would most likely be developed using JUCE which, as you probably know, has no accessibility API and, therefore, is not accessible to any screen reader. So, there goes another aspect of the need to make JUCE accessible. slau
