CWBRN-32994 - Save As Track Template - Slow and shows UI of plugins unnecessarily

STEPS
1) New project.
2) Add an audio track (Track 1). Save as track template. Works normal.
3) Add Kontakt instrument track (Track 2). Save this single track as track template. Works normal.
4) Move audio track so it's the last track (Kontact = Track 1).
5) Now save the audio track as track template again.

Expected
Business as usual

Actual
You see the Kontakt box pop up quickly (and unnecessarily). This shouldn't be by design.


Comments
Whilst not a destructive bug it has the potential, it seems weird that all tracks need to be iterated through in order to save a track template. And even if it needs to do this Kontakt should not be displaying. The code doesn't seem particular efficient, and track templates do appear to be very slow indeed to create.

Theoretical Scenario
Imagine you have 200 tracks, and you are only saving one track as track template. By the look of it... it will parse through every single track and plugin and in some cases display the plugin UI's. Only the bakers can confirm this however. Maybe this is down to the file format (XML or something). Regardless it appears extremely inefficient... It's just looping through all the tracks. If one plugin is buggy or something - bam...!

Side Comment
This thread to replace previous locked thread by a forum host (that locked thread can now be considered a dupe, this is the main issue), and btw I totally agree with that action in these forums (that is in line with the handbook, I agree the thread got too noisy).
Hopefully less noise this time...
