FCPX Missing Plug-in (Effect) difficult to track down - pt5 (X-FX Handler)

Couldn't hunt this missing Effect down, so I downloaded X-FX Handler from Spherico: http://www.spherico.com/filmtools/X-Files/X-FXHandler/

Exported an XML of the Project, loaded it into X-FX Handler, and Kaboom!

Look at this missing Hawaiki Effect! FASLE! That's right! But, but, hold on a second... That's fine and dandy, but WHERE CAN I FIND IT IN THE TIMELINE?

Ah! Ah! Here is the secret weapon: double click on the missing Effect and Kabaaahm!

It's enabled on CLIP0000180 - THAT I CAN SEARCH FOR IN THE INDEX.

Three Clip0000180 in my Timeline indeed, and the third one wins the missing Effect prize.
(It was actually OFF!) Delete. Good riddance.

Thank you Andreas Kiel, Spherico.

FCPX Missing Plug-in (Effect) difficult to track down - pt4

Here we are again at this topic: how to ID and find missing Effects, Titles and Transitions in FCPX? An ongoing battle.

See my two previous rants here:
http://humanuser.blogspot.com/2015/05/apple-has-to-make-it-easy-to-find.html
https://humanuser.blogspot.com/2017/02/missing-effects-and-titles-in-final-cut.html

Allright, so I discovered by inadvertence that FCPX (10.3.4) is giving SOME hints as to what is missing if you select the Project in the Browser, it will show SOME information.

Right, right, Hawaiki Color is missing, and Adjustment Layer is missing. That's progress.

It's better than showing this, right?

Unfortunately it doesn't help with finding the missing elements in the Timeline. I would like to jump to the actual place in the Timeline where this or these missing elements are being used and review and/or delete them. But I can't. Well for Titles, yes I can since I can isolate Titles in the Index.

So if there is already Titles listed in the Index, it's not too much asking that all other Effects, Generators and Transitions be added to the list, is it? And maybe it's not too much asking that any missing element be FLAGGED in the Index list, is it?

Thank you Apple.

Please Apple make it easy to find a missing Effect or Transition in FCPX.

I'm spending hours pulling my hair and agonizing. It's just untenable having only an exclamation mark over the Event icon to alert you that something is missing.

Some Title is missing...

Some Effect is missing...

Nothing pointing at the culprit Project or Compound Clip. Where to search without a clue?

How about a Timeline tab showing missing Effects? Or make searching for Effects, or missing Effects available in the Browser.

At least missing Media is easy to spot, and then to fix using the Relink Missing Media Files.

How about a Relink Missing Effects Files?

Apple has to make it easy to find missing Effect or Transition. If you think like me, please send your feedback to Apple:

Update:

Ah, ah! maybe this tool can help:

FCPX (10.1.4) screws with Titles Templates with a Transition applied

I create a Title from the Bold Fin Template in the Primary Storyline, it looks great.

I apply a Fade To Color Transition at the head and tail, still looks fine.

I come back later and the Title is scaled down significantly.

I duplicate the Title, it looks normal again.  Add Fade To Color, Render, still looks Fine.

The old Title is smaller and I can't find a way to make it back to normal size.  Annoying.
