That sounds reasonable, if rather vacuous :-). You ended up not
really specifying anything, except the location of the files, which
the user could presumably dictate to the host anyway.
I was thinking more of along the lines of OMS patch names, where
services are provided to the host author. But, I understand you have to
draw the line somewhere, and this is as good a place as any.

But one question does remain
Logic currently builds the preset menus for you - so this is really
an issue of how the host will present user presets to the user. We
are not expecting the AU's view to build these menus - or are we?
That is the only point of confusion I have about this discussion as
our previous discussions were discussions about how the host apps
would handle these, NOT the AUs.
This seems like a task common to every AU, so it sounds like it might
be
best done by the host. The only reason some plugs handle it in VST is
because some hosts handle it so poorly.
Then, this becomes a feature you should consider when you decide which
host app you like best...:)
