Easy instant plugin organization

This was touched on in pipeline's videos, but it recently came up in another thread that some people were suffereing from "plugin clutter."

REAPER makes it very easy to keep track of your plugins, even if you have a bajillion of them. Here's a video showing how to instantly sort and organize plugins into folders:

Notice that plugins moved into the newly-created "chorus" and "guitar effects" folders still exist in the other folders--plugins don't "disappear" from the places where you used to find them.

So, even if you have thousands of plugins that you can't remember what they're for, you can create instant filters to "shop" for plugins on the fly and instantly save useful categories.

In some other sequencers, you could spend a whole weekend just organizing your plugins and then still not be able to find what you want.
