So, the archive should be a list of previously saved presets rather than a
selection of "genre" presets.

Of course the presets could be given meaningful names by the user.

At the moment I am using a drop down menu but that could be changed into a
scrollable menu with the most recent used/saved presets at the top of the
list.

We could also have a button to allow the user to easily modify the
location of the preset archive or load an external preset file.
