What seems to be strange behavior with plugins in VP15

I am seeing what seems to be strange behavior in VP15. I don't recall this happening in the past, but it is possible. If I open ProDad Mercalli 4 plug in, and then add additional plugins from a group of 3 I had saved as a filter package, ProDad Mercalli 4 disappears. I then have to add it (and run it) again. Most annoying. I prefer to load Mercalli firs, as it seems to run faster before the additional plugins are added.

Is this something I'm doing wrong, or a possible glitch in the program? I've tried it multiple times, with same result.

Thanx.

Adding filter packages removes any previously applied filters. That has always been that way and it is in fact very annoying, I would even consider it a bug.

Thanx, Old Smoke. Good to know I'm not crazy.....or at least not crazy based on this one observation of mine.

If you use Vegasaur – it has its own fx package feature which also works by adding a package before or after existing fx.

Thank you, Marco. I do use Vegasaur, but was not aware of that feature. I'll try it. I'm having a minor, unrelated issue with Vegasaur, but I'll post it in a separate comment, to not confuse issues.

It does seem to me that if Vegasaur can add the package feature, Vegas should be able to handle it natively, and as Old Smoke commented above, might warrant being considered a (fixable) bug.
