i post this in the Mac subforum, since i´m on a mac:
so i installed some plugins new for update purposes,
I started a GP instance, i pressed “rescan” plugins.
…then it took forever to scan. ( not the first time i have “this” happen ( taking long time) )
But now, do i have as far i can tell every VST3 plugin shown 6 times ! ( never had such bevore)
what can i do ? what should i do now ? ( tryed a new rescan)
to notes here:
i have a script (mac os based) running, where i can start all 8 different GP instances,
4x arm based / 4x intel based, from my title bar.
This problem is only with one of these GP instances. the one i just scanned the plugins new.
I´ve not scanned new on any other GP instance.
i don´t know how to do this…?
well, what i can say is this. Its:
my SSD / Library / Audio / plug-ins / VST / Applied Acoustics Systems / AAS player.vst3
( most plugins do not have a specific folder for the manufacturer)
if i go to user (my Name), then i have:
2. / Dokumente / …and then my folders and “my” files (but no plugin folders)
OK, i think we have it ! wow
within the VST3 Folder, is another VST3 folder. It seems to contain just everything.
Same VST3 plugins. the whole list
within that second VST3 Folder is again another VST3 Folder. Same thing !
within that, another !
within that another, haha
now, guess what…
another…
another…
another…
another …
/ ALL of these nested VST3 Folders do contain the whole VST3 list, i´d say.
i have right now opened a nested VST3 Folder hirarchy of 33 Folders,…!!!
GP seems to stop counting at 6, haha.
But i went up to 33, and i stop here :laugh:
“feels” like it would just create a douplicated VST3 Folder, just by clicking on each VST3 Folder. …wow, thats strange !
I´ve not had that bevore i would say.
…all i changed today was to update some plugins, and install one demo ( audio realism bassline 3 )
you will get the idea after 2 screenshots, but i made 6
path is: my SSD / Library /
( i wanted to keep my privat Name out of the web )
so, i just delete the first duplicated/nested VST3 Folder ?
and also just rescan the plugins for the used GP4 instance ?
or is there any specific thing to watch here bevore doing so ?
do you have an idea how this “VST3 Folder duplication” could have happened ?
juts one of the plugin-updates, or the plugin demo, that i have installed ----> “could” have caused “that issue” ? is this thinkable ?
( cause i then know which ones would be in question )
