Description

Heya.
So I've been trying to make my own banks of presets for various instruments. Largely, I've been doing so using VSTHost. I also recently discovered that ToyBear MiniHost can load any arbitrary number of .fxp files and save them ALL into a single .fxb
The issue is, when I try to load the resulting .fxb into LMMS, it a) only seems to load the name for the first preset, and b) doesn't actually load all of the presets contained in the bank.
I have checked in other DAWs, and those load the created (via ToyBear MiniHost) .fxb files just fine. (VSTHost, Reaper, Psycle, and Mu.Lab)

Research direction

Start by reproducing the problem in LMMS with a .fxb bank created by ToyBear MiniHost, then compare its behavior with the other DAWs named in the report. Done means LMMS loads all presets in the bank and shows each preset name correctly.
