About the “shared” plug-ins folder
(Windows and VST 2.x only)
You can designate a “shared” VST 2.x plug-ins folder.
This will allow VST 2.x plug-ins to be used by other pro
-
grams that support this standard.
You designate a shared folder by selecting a folder in the
list and clicking the “Set As Shared Folder” button in the
VST 2.x Plug-in Paths dialog.
Exporting plug-in information files
You can also save plug-in information as an XML file, e. g.
for archiving purposes or troubleshooting. The Export
function is available for VST, MIDI and Audio Codec plug-
ins. Proceed as follows:
1. Right-click on the desired tab in the Plug-in Information
window to open the context menu and select “Export”.
A file dialog opens.
2. In the dialog, specify a name and location for the Plug-
in Information export file and click OK to export the file.
• The Plug-in Information file contains information on the
installed/available plug-ins, their version, vendor, etc.
• The XML file can then be opened in any editor applica-
tion supporting the XML format.
