Platinum: Loading FX on multiple tracks, Pro Channel EQ flyout question

Trying the Platinum Demo, I have X3E.
1. Is there still no way to load a VST3 or VST2 effect on mutiple tracks? I tried using Quick Groups, still doesn't work for me.
2. Using Pro Channel I CAN load multiple instances across a Quick Group, but cannot hold down Control and delete all instances of the Pro Chanel effects. Still one a a time.
3. In the Console View I can see the small window for the the EQ in ProChannel, but I would expect to be able to click on it to fly it out. Apparently I need to open the Pro Channel menu and then click on the EQ to fly it out.
I must admit that the differences between the Pro Chanel and "regular" effects is annoying. I wish there was one effects bin . I want tot see the Pro Channel effects without opening it.
Thanks!

    Not to forget a simple status display showing pre/post while the PC is displayed instead of forcing either a few more clicks or switching PC display off...

    This one is one of the little annoyances...

    As to loading and unloading multiple items? It seems sometimes to work and other times not. I do my best to insure it is not due to my operation, but that is always possible.

    As to wanting to see the fx bin as well as PC? Stop using the fx bin and insert all your vst plugins within fx chains...

    I like the fx bin. PC takes up too much real estate, just to see what the heck is on a track.

    I would normally work with either per track basis, or per bus (still not to advanced).
    I would probably use "this new feature" if available, though

    I want the same effect on more than one track a lot. High pass filters, Klanghelm meters to set input gains, compressors that I will then adjust differently for each track , tape like effects etc. Eventually, console strips too maybe.
