SpaceF, and Celmo pop-ups

When I load a preset from my synths that has the capability to add 3rd party FX, as well as standard FX from the developer, I get a pop up window. This has never been an issue b4, but now I have to watch the DAS Modular Mixer and since it has light DSP usage for such a well endowed beast, I added ProWave, and Six String which are much more aggressive with the DSP's. My problem is I cannot be deleting pop ups while I am playing. There is a way in SFP to hide these pop ups when the preset is loaded isn't there ? Once again I come to my brothas' 4 suggestions and advice.
Your Friend And Mine,

what popup window do you get? can't you resave the preset in the form that you want it in(the after popup version)?

Jimmy you probably talk about the scope search window that may pop up when you load a preset that calls an insert that is not there anymore.
You probably changed the location of the said inserts between saving the preset and reloading it.
So you have to use the scope search window to load the missing inserts and re-store the preset with the right locations. Scope does it automatically if you set the right folder to look in (autosearch mode of the scope search window).
You have more details in the spacef forums (in the presets related threads).
There are also discussions in the "poll" section, with users in order to change the whole organisation of the BlackBox II folders and sub-folder (ie, location of the various elements), as it became bigger than I ever imagined when i did BlackBox I.It might be of interest for you to intervene, 'cause those changes gonna happen anyway (in the future and if the majority agrees or remain silent).

Thanks Guys,
It is a picture of SpaceF's Synth FX echo.
I will explain what I'm doing. In Solaris, and most Bowen synths, you can use his stock chorus, delay FX, or use some of SpaceF, or Celmos delays for a really unique flavor. So when I load the new synth Preset, a picture of whatever 3rd party delay I put there appears until I x it out. This will become a pain in the ass when I start using the DAS Modular mixer, and must be able to view the pages w/o these little pictures of an insert, which I need no reminder of it's placement.
I also thought that once saved, it would stop reappearing. The stock effects are nice, but SpaceF's, and Celmos stuff was made for these types of inserts, rather than on an auxillary where everything gets the same delay. Bowen synths, and SpaceF SynthFX / Echo 35 are downright incredible to say the least, and Celmos Tape Sim replicates my beloved Ursa Space Station. So I am rather spoiled in the delay category.
Medhi's delays on Solaris looped in reverse on my hardware delay / looper are the most avant garde sounds one could ask for !!
Strength And Honor,

mmm.. strange because the Synth Fx /echo load closed normally, and it doesn't recall whether it is closed or open when you save a preset. Try to load a synth fx in a project, and if it loads with an open panel, then please mail this device to me and i'll see what to do and contact Olive if necessary (normally, it has nothing to do with the mixer). thanks if you can do this!
by picture you mean the device's panel, right?

i get this also - as i'm not playing live it's no hassle for me to close it so i never thought of mentioning it. Yes so even if i load a BB device like Biosc, when a preset has finished loading you get, say, a satellite osc panel open. i always thought it was a bit odd but never bothered to mention it.
Maybe we can figure out a fix.

yes but that's different. there are 2 or 3 sateliites that actually load open (will betaken care of for next install pack), but not the devs that jimmy mentionned tmk.

True,
But Celmo's Tape Sim also pops up, this is not a SpaceF thing only, but rather anything not stock pops up after it is inserted into the insert rack.

I have saved the preset and the file, amd the banl several times just to check and it still happens. Funny thing. a couple of presets work w/o pop up? I shall try to figure out what tricks I did to get this to go away. I shall also try to load the effect into the project in series amd see what happens. But I really like the customeffects on every patch.
