1: When you first start, use a project, the names frequently don't show. HOWEVER, if you save the project and launch it again, they are there as they should be in the first place.

2: You cannot currently double-click the plug box and have the GUI open. So you have to go to the (now highlighted) box in the regular way live does plugs and click on that to open the GUI.

However, it's really nice to have since you can simply click on the yellow circle and enable/disable the plug, which is handy w/o have to scroll through the regular way (if you have a decent set of plugs on the channel for example)

Since you can go that far, and the Abe's know about this, why not just implement it into the regular version and do it right?

BTW, for those not in the know, the command to place into the Options.txt file is: -ShowDeviceSlots (just copy/paste that and save, place in the preferences and WALLA! Works like a charm)

It's half baked, but it's better than nothing ;)
