[pluggo] Re: Problem with Audiounit Scan

Edo,

We have tested on our system with a 500+ plug-ins and not been able to 
duplicate this problem.   There is a Pro Tools 7.4 specific issue with 
certain plug-in combinations, but this does not affect AudioUnit Scan.

The first thing I would suggest is to make sure that all of your 
Pluggo-based plug-ins are compatible with the latest version of Pluggo, 
3.6.1.  If you have older Pluggo based plug-ins floating around that 
were not compiled with Max/MSP 4.6+, this will cause problems.  If you 
don't know, please contact these third party developers to see if they 
offer Pluggo 3.6.1 (UB) compatible versions.

If you are getting errors that relate to duplicate plug-ins being 
scanned, this means that there is a pluggo uniqueid being used more than 
once.  Again, you will need to contact the third party developer for 
support regarding this.

What it boils down to is that if all of the Cycling '74 Pluggo-based 
plug-ins are working fine when other plugs are not present, it means 
that there is a conflict with the third party plugs you are using.  For 
example, Capsella requires an additional support framework to be 
installed, so make sure you have all of the extra bits for these.

I have Pluggo and Hypno (latest versions) and if I add some Pluggo based plugins from other developers (Daevl.Makr, capsella, audioo etc.), the last in the list are not wrapped at all. I noticed that the exclusion is based on alphabetical order: if I put a "Z" before the "Pluggo" name of the folder, than some of the plugs contained in that folder (the ones with name starting with "W" "X" "Z") will be excluded. The same apply if I put a "Z" in front of the "audioo" name ("Z audioo"): then the plugs contained in the "Z audioo" folder won't be wrapped.

I take the Mode folder out of the VST folder and voila, those plugs are wrapped again! But if I call the Mode folder "Zode", so that it is the last folder containing pluggo plug-ins to be scanned, the plugs contained are not wrapped.
