A play-this button on each FX-mixer-channel

Label: Suggestions > = 1.2.1
Just as it is useful to be able to listen to a preset in song-editor, i think it could be useful, if each single-usage mixer-channel had the same button.
A mockup :

The implementation is a copy of the button in song-editor, with two important differences.

• If more than one preset is using the same fx-channel, there should not be a play button.
• If more than one fx-channels SEND to the channel, there should not be a play button.

The functionality became relevant as i tried to move channels around into groups. There i missed being able to listen to the allocated presets.

So, this could be a useful idea, but I think at the moment the amount of time an energy that would need to be invested in implementing a feature with such a limited use case is not something we can afford.

If in the future an instrument gets an FX channel auto-assigned (that is, that no instrument should be connected directly to master) this could prove as a useful, but for now, I can mark this as an enhancement, but I doubt it'll get implemented. Another option can be that we close this, and let it wait for better times, and then reopen it.

@musikBear you decide.

close this, and let it wait for better times, and then reopen it.

@Umcaruje alternatively it could just get a sceduled-mark for 1.3, or later, then it wont disappear between the closed enhancements?

К, tbh I'm fine either way, keep in mind that this is very unlikely to get implemented.

<offtopic>As opposed to being buried with the open ones? We haven't been tagging anything for 1.3 lately because we've lost our most active developers. This changes day-to-day though, but we're in no position to guarantee any major enhancement for a major version. The developers which took assignments aren't active anymore, so we're back to the "scratch an itch" workflow, sorry. </offtopic>.

No one is gone forever, but yes there are a few (some named above and some not named above) who's contributions were invaluable to the project.
