I don't think the dot's can be used to anything right now. You exlain why.
If the design of them for example actually made it apparant which applications that was used in a certain multipreset, and it was shown in the preset browser instead of the two white circles there is now to indicate it's a multi preset, then i could see a useful function for them.
Right now they are in a place where you aalready have the application name, and in a view also a picture of the application.
I don't mind the dots, but one does wonder, why they are there. If there is a meaning in the dots, then i also would like to know about it.
