I'd like to be able to change the names of the VST plugins in the browser - such as the way you can rename tracks or synths in the synth browser. The VST manufacturers either have ridiculous names or totally non-intuitive names. What would also be nice is a user defined pop-up tooltip for additional information on the plugin.

You can already - use the Plug In Manager.

Checked it out. Thanks.

Doesn't work for at least some DirectX effects because of registry permissions though.

Ditto on the Plugin Manager.  I've had to change several "SynthEdit - Container" plugins to their real names.
